Welcome to First Grade!
Dear Families,
I am thrilled to welcome you to our First Grade class! My name is Meg Fornaro, and I am excited to embark on this educational journey with you and your child.
This marks my 21st year at Bradley Gardens School, and I bring 26 years of teaching experience to the classroom. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, birdwatching, cooking, walking, and savoring a hot cup of coffee. This summer, my family and I had the pleasure of cruising in Italy, traveling to a family wedding in Seattle, and taking a trip to Charleston, SC.
