An Interview with Ms. Coleman By: Gianna Rubino and Maeve Geraghty Ms. Coleman began teaching here at St. Cajetan in 2008. She went to Mother McAuley for high school and Eastern Illinois University for college. Her favorite color is pink, and her favorite holidays are Christmas and The 4

th of July. Her

birthday is on April 1st, and she

said people sometimes don’t believe her since it’s also April Fool’s Day. Math is Ms. Coleman’s favorite subject to teach, and her favorite sport is volleyball. Her favorite move is “The Proposal”, and she loves shopping at Express and Target. She loves to laugh too. When Ms. Coleman has free time, she enjoys going to her cottage in Michigan. If she could be any animal, she’d be a kangaroo! Her favorite restaurant is Palermo’s. When we asked her if she’d rather eat a live spider or swim in a pool of snakes, she said she’d cry. Thanks for the interview, Ms. Coleman! We love you and we hope you have a great summer!
