Welcome to 3rd grade! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child and working together to help your child succeed! I'm passionate for teaching and passionate for each child to achieve success.

I am a recipient of the 2020 New Jersey Department of Education Exemplary Educator award and 2017 WTEA Teacher of the year as well as a 2017 Governor's Teacher Recognition Honoree.

 I will be entering my fourteenth year of teaching, all of which have been at Kennedy Park and Oak Tree Road School. In previous years I was an Academic Coach at school 24 and have also taught second grade. This will be my tenth year teaching third grade. I recently had twin baby girls named Julia and Giada. I enjoy spending time with my baby girls, my dog Leo, going to the beach, shopping, technology, spending time with family, and friends,

Working together and communicating is a crucial component in your child's education and success.  If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact me at (732) 602-8424, send a Remind message, or email me at monica.sepa-lafemina@wtsdnj.com
