Mrs. Brogioli & Mrs. Ceruti's Class - Meet Mrs. Brogioli & Mrs. Ceruti

Mrs. Brogioli

I'm so excited to get to know all of you this school year! I grew up in Milford and now live in Northbridge with my husband, our new son Luca, and our rescue pitbull, Bailey. My family and I love to stay active by going kayaking, playing mini-golf, and exploring new restaurants. My favorite places to get away are Martha's Vineyard and Charlestown, Rhode Island. As a huge Disney fan, I'm always looking forward to my next trip! When I'm at home, I love to read and catch up on my favorite TV shows. Fun fact: I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan! 🎶

I'm a proud graduate of Bridgewater State University, where I earned both my bachelor's degrees in English and Elementary Education and my master's in Reading. Before joining the Memorial community in 2021, I taught in a variety of grades and districts, including Brockton, Taunton, and Plainville. For the last few years, I've had the pleasure of teaching fourth and third grade here.

My professional passion is using books to teach diversity and help students become compassionate world citizens. I believe that reading aloud is one of the most powerful tools we have to build community, foster empathy, and meet the social-emotional needs of our learners. That’s why our class will be participating in the #classroombookaday challenge, where we will read a different picture book together every single day. I can't wait to share this journey with you and your children!

Mrs. Ceruti

Upton has been my home for the last twenty-three years. I have taught at Memorial School for the last 11 of those years. I taught two years as a fourth-grade classroom teacher, before moving to the third grade as a Special Education teacher.

At home, I have four daughters ranging from age 16-22. Josie is a nurse at a local hospital. Allison is a senior at Bridgewater State University, studying to be a speech language pathologist. Maria is a sophmore at UMass Amherst studying kinesiology. Antonia is a high school junior. Our household also includes two cats, Pepper and Poppy. Summer is my favorite season. It includes reading as many books as possible, catching up with friends, spending time with my daughters, and traveling to new places. (This summer I visited Portugal and had the chance to tour the university that was the inspiration for Harry Potter.) I have found a love of pickle ball and try to play as often as possible with friends.

I love being part of an inclusion team and getting to know a new group of students and their families each September. I feel very strongly that the most important part of our job is making connections with our students, learning their likes and dislikes, their strengths and areas of growth, and helping each of them find success during the year and beyond. I believe communication between us and our families is essential as we are a team with a common goal- meeting the needs of our students.
