Hi all! I'd like to take the time to introduce myself so that you may learn a little more about your child's 3rd grade teacher! 

My name again is Jill Vilichka. This will be my 10th year as an educator and I am so fortunate to have spent all 10 of those years here at Pennsylvania Avenue School #27! I graduated from Kean University with a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education. I currently hold 3 teaching certifications (Teacher of Students with Disabilities, Teacher of Preschool through Grade 3, and Teacher of Grades K-6). 

I have an older brother and a younger sister, making me the middle child in my family. I also have 2 dachshunds named Peanut and Lucy, who are my entire life. In my spare time, I enjoy watching TV, reading, listening to music, crafting, spending time with my friends and family, being active/playing sports (flag football being my favorite!), going on walks/hikes and of course, playing with my puppies! 

I have always had a passion for teaching and it is my goal this year to encourage a passion for learning in each of your children!
