About Me

Mrs. O'Connell: I am the elementary art teacher at the Garfield School- teaching grades pre-K-5. I graduated from Tufts/The School of the Museum of Fine Arts with a BA in Anthropology and BFA in Fine Art. I also received my Masters from the same schools! I love art and I'm excited to share what I know with my students!!
