Hi Everyone, 

My name is Mrs. Lauren Crupi and I am very excited to be your literacy teacher this year. I am a 5th grade homeroom teacher, and I also teach 4th grade literacy as well as 5th grade literacy and social studies. This is my 17th year being a teacher. I have taught elementary school, as well as middle school. I absolutely love teaching in the school district that I attended as a student. I have wonderful memories of being a student at Indian Hill School and l want the same for your children!

After I graduated from Holmdel High School, I went to college at Seton Hall University where I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education, Special Education, and English. I went on to attain my Master's degree at Marygrove College in teaching Reading and Literacy. Most importantly, all of this means that I am committed to helping every child learn, whether they love literacy already or are still finding their way.

I have two children of my own, ages 10 and 7. I always strive to be the teacher I hope for them to have each year. I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with a lot of learning and a lot of fun! 

~ Mrs. Crupi
