My name is Mrs. Gina Kraese. I am very excited for the 2023/2024 school year! I can hardly wait to meet all of you and begin our year together. I grew up in Woodbridge Township. I was a student at MPT #19, Iselin Middle, and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology at Kean University. This is my 25th year teaching in Woodbridge Township. I was a second grade teacher for 20 years at School 27, but this will be my fourth year as Academic Coach. My day will be devoted to Leveled Literacy Instruction in grades 1 & 2. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, my 13 year old son, and our dog Shelby.
