Hi! My name is Mrs. Zuccato. I grew up right here in Harrison Township, and I was lucky enough to attend both HTS and PVS. I was truly inspired by all of my teachers from a very young age, and in 3rd grade my decision was final; I wanted to become a teacher! I attended Monmouth University and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in both Elementary Education and Anthropology, as well as an endorsement in Teaching Students with Disabilities (TSD). Although I went north for college, South Jersey will always have my heart.
Family is everything to me and I love any and every chance I get to spend with them. My parents are real life superheroes in my eyes, and my two sisters are my best friends. My wife, Lauren, and I feel like the luckiest moms in the universe because we get to call Millie James and Stella Rose our daughters. Our girls are identical twins! They are one and a half years old and and fill each day with a happiness that's hard to describe. Millie's and Stella's older brother's name is Archie, and he is an energetic and loving 2 year old Huskydoodle. I am so eager to spend the year learning about you, your interests, and who you love!
Pleasant Valley was a place that shaped me during my elementary years, and this school continues to do so today. This will be the first year that Mrs. Sosnoski and I will be teaching together, and we are pumped to take on this new adventure with you! Our classroom is a happy place, and this year we hope to make it a place that brings you joy too. In our classroom each child will be celebrated, challenged and encouraged. I can't wait for the learning to begin!
With Love & Excitement,
Mrs. Zuccato
