Welcome Letter - Mrs. Meara – Tara Meara

Dear families and students,

As I enter my 24th year in education, I reflect on how much I love being a teacher in this incredible town and school! At MMS, we truly are a family. This year I will be teaching 7th grade Literacy, as well as co-teaching 6th grade ELA with Mrs. Scalici and Mrs. Brizzi.

I graduated from Drew University with a BA in Psychology, and a double-major in Education, and the following certifications: Teacher of Elementary K-6; Teacher of the handicapped. I earned a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership, as well as certifications as a Supervisor and Principal through The College of Saint Elizabeth.

I am looking forward to another successful year at MMS. Students and families are always welcome to contact me at: [email protected].

Sincerely,

Mrs. Tara Meara
