Meet the Teacher:

My name is Sarah Yannaco and I’m the 4th grade homeroom teacher at Our Lady of Victory School. This will be my 8th year at OLV and I will be teaching mathematics and religion for grades 3-5.

I was born and raised in Westchester, New York. I attended school both at St. Joseph’s in Bronxville and Eastchester School District. I obtained my Masters in Teaching from Iona College and I’m certified in Childhood Education 1-6. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and finding ways to volunteer.

Welcome to 4th Grade!
I look forward to teaching your children and watching them grow as learners.
My classroom is a place of respect for ourselves, our classmates, and our school.
