Fast-forward to today. I’ve been teaching classes for over 12 years and have created hundreds of mosaics. I’ve been commissioned to do public art projects and have even had my work featured in a few books. When my two young daughters were growing up in 1998, I needed an outlet for all my parental energy. I discovered plate shard art when I saw a smashed plate picture frame in a gift shop. I decided to give it a go and with a hammer as my only tool I began creating art with plate shards. I found it incredibly fulfilling and gave many of my creations away as gifts. In 2006, my sister went to Morocco and returned with beautiful pottery that was unfortunately damaged in transit. She found a mosaic class and encouraged me to join her. I fell in love with the art form and with the help of the tools she provided, I was able to start creating mosaics. Since then I have not looked back. I have been teaching and creating mosaics for more than 12 years and have had the pleasure of working on many public art projects. My work has even been featured in some books. It’s been an amazing journey and I’m excited for what the future holds.

We then use this information to challenge each athlete slightly beyond his or her present ability and capability every time they train with us. By pushing athletes just beyond their present level of ability, we can help them reach their fullest potential and achieve their goals. This way, they can experience success and learn new skills without becoming frustrated or overwhelmed. However, if the goal is too far beyond their current capabilities, it may lead to discouragement. On the other hand, if the goal is too easy, they may lack the motivation to reach greater heights. At Anderson Baseball Academy, we strive to personalize each individual’s training plan so that they can reach their highest potential and become the best baseball player they can be. We believe that by pushing each athlete slightly beyond their current level of ability, they can achieve success and learn new skills while still feeling comfortable and confident.

The families created CFMS to provide a school for their children and their neighbors, where the teachers would treat each student with respect and equip them with the necessary academic skills. The school opened with 12 students in September 1981, meeting in the living room of Catherine and Charley Maresca. Rebekah Rojcewicz was the CFMS teacher, who had studied in Rome with Sofia Cavalletti the initiator of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. In March 1982, CFMS moved to St. James Catholic Church in Mt. Rainier, Md.
