Hi! My name is Mrs. Talia McManus and I'm your first grade teacher this year! I graduated from Rider University in 2017 with a degree in Elementary Education and English Literature. This is my eighth year teaching! I started at Greenbrook in 2022 and taught third grade! I have been teaching first grade at Greenbrook since 2023. I have two cats named Gale and Luna and they are even featured in our classroom!

I truly believe that each student is special and that our class is a family. Building a classroom family and community is my favorite part of being a teacher. We do this through our morning meetings, daily affirmations, working together and never giving up! I am also excited to work with families to build the relationship between home and school. It truly takes a village to ensure the success of students! I can't wait to work with you this year.
