Hello! I’m Ms. Cara Gonnella, and I’m thrilled to join the Bardonia Elementary community as a kindergarten teacher. I previously worked as a building substitute in Westchester and am excited to begin my first year at Bardonia.

I hold a BS in Marketing and Management from Manhattan University, a Master’s in Early Childhood and Childhood Education from Iona University, and a classroom teaching certificate in ESOL from the University of Mount Saint Vincent.

I look forward to a joyful and meaningful year of learning with my students and collaboration with families and colleagues.
