Hello, Students and Families!

I have been a special education teacher here at Lopatcong Elementary School since 2011. I graduated from Centenary University with a BA in History and certifications in Elementary Education K-5 and Special Education K-12. I love being a teacher and consider myself blessed to be a part of your life.

My family and I live in Belvidere, New Jersey. My son, Anthony, is 21 and attending Warren County Community College. He plans to continue a business career. My daughter, Maria, is 18 and is a senior at Belvidere High School. The drama club is a big part of her life and she is looking forward to the Spring Musical. Both Anthony & Maria work at Thisilldous Eatery in Belvidere -- so stop by for a great breakfast and say, "Hi!"

We have 3 cats, Petra , Lotus and Echo, and a dog, Leelo. Leelo and I love to go for long walks in the woods behind my house.

My children and I are huge Star Wars fans! I think you will be able to figure that out once you step into my classroom!

My favorite candy is anything Hershey's Chocolate, and I love Disney World, Star Wars, and George Washington! I listen to all kinds of music from Dean Martin to Lady Gaga. And, I love being a teacher!

I hope to get to know each and every one of you this year! Please remember that I am always ready to help in any way I can.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Turker
