My favorite things to do include, spending time with my daughter Samantha, my husband Ricky, and our dog, Cheresa. My favorite place to visit is Disney World. I love doing colorguard, (performing to music with flags) and I coach both the STEM and Lowell High Colorguard teams. I also love animals, music, cooking, playing games, arts and crafts, and teaching. 

We are STEM SHARKS.  What is your favorite shark?

My favorite shark is the whale shark, because it is a beautiful, gentle giant.

Miss Maniscalco - English Learners (EL) Teacher - 5th and 6th Grade

Contact: Class Dojo, email lmaniscalco@lowell.k12.ma.us

I have spent my whole career in the Lowell Public Schools. As a Lowellian myself, these families have my heart and I truly love my job. I feel as though I am meant to be an English language teacher to our students and love connecting with those who are new to the country. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my nieces and family, seeing friends, going to the beach, and listening to music or going to concerts. I also can't resist a couple scoops of my favorite ice cream! :)

We are STEM Sharks. Do you have a favorite shark type? Why is it your favorite?

My favorite shark? Ones that stay far, far, FAR away!!!
