Dear Parents/Guardians,                                                   

        My name is Andrea Bongiovanni, and I am excited to be one of your child's 2nd-grade teachers and to co-teach with Mrs. Hrynkiewicz this year.  Mrs. Hrynkiewicz will be on maternity leave through the beginning of October, so Ms. Hands will co-teach with me until she returns.  This is my 11th year back at JFK after taking an extended maternity leave to raise my own two children.  I look forward to working with you and your children to help them reach their full potential.  Teaching is not just a job to me but a passion.

 

        I am not only a teacher but a parent as well.  I have two children, ages 18 and 21.  My son will be attending The Ohio State University in the fall, and my daughter is a senior at Bloomsburg University.  I believe it is important that parents and teachers work together as a team to provide the best educational experience for a child.  I want my enthusiasm and love for learning to be a model for my students.  School should be a place where students love to go and are excited about learning.  My goal is to create a safe and positive learning environment.  I will do my best to make learning fun and interesting for everyone. 

 

     Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.  You can send in a note with your child or email both teachers at [email protected] and [email protected].  I am looking forward to an amazing year in 2nd Grade!
