About Mrs. Addino

Hi there! Here's a bit about me... I live in Orangeburg with my husband, our son, and our pet tortoise, Spike.  We are always out and about so you never know where you might run into us - ShopRite, OMM Fields, a carnival, King Kone, LBI in the summer, or just taking a walk down the street! You will also find me cheering for PR at sports events unless they are playing TZ and my son is on the field or court! 

My hobbies (when I find time) include reading, shopping for great shoes, traveling (especially to see our relatives in Italy), watching and reciting lines from 1980's movies, and hosting family/friend gatherings in my home. I've also become a big NY Yankees and Buffalo Bills Fan thanks to my son's passion for both teams! (Growing up in Queens and having my family be diehard Mets fans, it was hard to convert, but here I am.)

This year, I'm most looking forward to the new and exciting adventures 6th grade will bring. For many years, I spent my time down the hall in "5th Grade Land" enjoying all that encompasses our students adjustment to the middle school. In the spring of 2022, I was afforded the opportunity to ask for a change, and with it, came a 6th Grade ELA position. As a subject, ELA is where my passion lies, and I thought it too much of an opportunity to pass up.  I absolutely LOVE everything about 6th grade. 6th graders are a unique group - on the cusp of  young adulthood yet longing to still be kids...I'm blessed to be afforded the opportunity to learn and grow with each and every one of my students. 

As we grow, we become proud of the many accomplishments in our lives. For me, the greatest achievement in my life has been becoming a mom. It truly is the greatest joy - even on my worst day, and I look forward to each new day as an adventure - and as your children will soon tell you - every day with my son is a WILD ADVENTURE!
