Meet Fawn


We have the pleasure of using this site as means to grow together. As part of this goal, we would like to share a bit about each sister, or rather have each introduce herself. Thanks to Fawn for sharing her voice first.


Fawn Mahurin

hometown:
Randolph

moved into ward:
September 1982 - August 1984, then again October 2005 to present


what is your favorite scripture?
Joshua 24:15
"choose you this day whom ye will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."


briefly share your education/work experience? What did/do you choose to spend your time on? why?
After attending public schools in San Jose, California and Boston and Milton here in Massachusetts, my mother decided it would be best to attend private, Catholic schools for grades 6-12. I graduated in 1992 from St. Clare High School in Roslindale. I moved back to San Jose, California and attended West Valley College and majored in Child Studies. I received my AA in Liberal Arts and my AS in Child Studies.
I have worked as a Deli Clerk for years as well as Nanny for a variety of families. I have worked at Westwood Children's School since 1996. I currently work as the Infant Toddler Coordinator. I love working with small children, to see all the development that occurs in the year that they are in my care.

what's the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?
I would have to say other than being sealed to my husband for time and all eternity, I would have to say the birth of each of my children would be the experiences in my life that I cherish most. The little miracles and the stories behind them are amazing. They changed my entire outlook on life.

who can always make you laugh? how?
My children have some of the funniest comments and statements that we have no idea where they picked them up.
