Sr. Vivian Giulianelli

I am a member of the  Franciscan Sister of the Atonement (Graymoor Sisters).  I graduated from SUNY Oneonta with a degree in Education and a minor in Art.  I also have a Masters Degree from the University of San Francisco in Counseling Psychology concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been teaching at St. Ambrose School since September 1995. I have taught First Grade and Third Grade and have been teaching Art since 2002. I follow the New York State Curriculum for the Art Program and I teach Kindergarten through 6th grade.
Two articles I wrote in regard to our students' art projects have been accepted by the (widely known & national) School Arts Magazine for publication.  An article I wrote on St. Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe was published in "The Catechist"  magazine (sister magazine to "The Teacher"). I love walks with my twin sister,  teaching art, painting and drawing, writing/painting Religious Icons, playing the flute and spending time with my Portuguese Podengo pup.  I am a fan of the New York Yankees!  Go Team !


















Why are you at St. Ambrose?: I love the parish and school. Love teaching with a great team of teachers and staff, and love teaching the children and meeting their families. Also, love being able to teach about Christ. Small school, wonderful environment for learning, sharing and having fun!
Pets? Fun outside of school?: I have a sweet pup named Chloe. She is a Portuguese Podango and is a wonderful companion! Love being with friends and family, movies and games.
Last book read/favorite book?: Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by Brant Pitre
Favorite St. Ambrose Memory: I have lots of memories of the kindness and thoughtfulness of co-workers and families and fun times with the students!
