My name is Makenna Marucci and I am so excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher! Our school year will be filled with a lot of learning, fun, and growing! I can't wait to get to know your child and your family this year. Feel free to scroll this page to get to know a bit about me!
I graduated from Rowan University in 2022 with a Bachelors in K-6 Elementary Education, with an endorsement in 5-8 social studies.
I completed my student teaching right here in Swedesboro-Woolwich School District at Stratton in 2nd grade with Mrs Bussott. I loved SWSD so much that I came back to teach here! This will be my 3rd year teaching kindergarten at Clifford. I absolutely love teaching kindergarten and seeing how much my students grow throughout the year!
I live in Mullica Hill, NJ. I am the youngest of 3 siblings. I also have 5 nieces and nephews- "Aunt Kenna" is my favorite title! I have a dog named Jagger and a cat named Stella.
I spend my summers in Wildwood Crest, NJ. When I am not busy teaching I enjoy reading, baking gluten free goodies, watching Philadelphia sports teams (go birds!), and spending time with my friends and family.

My dog Jagger- he is a rescue!

This summer I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding!
