Hi, I am Jodi Ventresca.

I feel honored to have the opportunity to teach your child for 2 years.  As I get to know your child and family this year, I hope this page helps you get to me a little better.

Just like you, I was a student at TES. This is my First Grade picture from when I was a student at Tuckerton Elementary School.  In fact our classroom was my 5th grade classroom too.  Can you find me??

I hate the beach!  I haven't been to the beach in at least 2 summers, and when I did go it was only once a summer. I love the woods though and always feel at home when I can see pine trees.

I have broken 5 bones in my lifetime in very crazy and silly ways. Ex: baton twirling was one of them!

My family goes way back in Tuckerton!  My grandmother went to Tuckerton High School.  My mom went to TES and so did I.  My mom taught at TES for 30+ years.

I go to Disney so much that Mr. Ventresca won't even go with me anymore 😆

I have the coolest dog ever and his name is Rookie.
