Welcome to the start of what will be a wonderful and busy school year! My name is Cathy Santi and I look forward to getting to know you and your children as the year progresses.  To help you get to know me, I will share a few tidbits about my life. I graduated from Troy Athens High School and Wayne State University.  I received my Masters Degree from Marygrove College.  This is my 23rd year teaching, with this being my 22nd year living and teaching in Livonia.  My husband, John, is a 5^th grade teacher at Johnson.  We have 3 children: Paityn (20 years old) attends Grand Valley State University, but is currently participating in the Disney College Program in Orlando, Floridan; Luke (18 years old) just graduated from Livonia Stevenson High School and is starting his freshman year at Michigan State University, and Drew (10 years old) who will be a 5th grader at Cooper. In my spare time, I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with my family. We love to travel, especially to Walt Disney World and Chicago.
