Hi! My name is Anabel DaSilva.  I am the Instructional Specialist at the Sullivan. My job is primarily to work with teachers and students.   I began my teaching career in the Lowell Public Schools at the E. N. Rogers Middle School in 1994. In 2009, after the closing of the Rogers, I came to the Sullivan and taught 5th grade for two years.  In 2011, I moved on to teaching Grade 7 Social studies and in 2021 I became the Instructional Specialist.    

As my students can attest, I love everything beach, summer, and flip-flop related.  For me, a perfect day is sitting with my toes in the sand watching the waves roll in.  

When not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and cheering on the Red Sox, Bruins, and Patriots.

Hi! My name is Stephen Silva and I am the Literacy Specialist at Sullivan Middle School. My job here is to work with the ELA teachers and Special Education department in an effort to improve the literacy skills of our students. I have worked in Lowell Public Schools for the last 12 years as a 7th and 8th grade ELA teacher and hope to use the experiences that I have had in my classroom to help teachers and students here. As someone who struggled in middle school with literacy, it is extremely important to me that our students receive the best possible instruction to improve their skills for their future endeavors. When I am not working with teachers or students I am reading some of my favorite science fiction, building Legos with one of my two sons, or in the woods on some type of mountain biking adventure.
