A Message from the Principal

I am thrilled to begin my first year as Principal of Brookside Elementary! Over the past two years as an academic support teacher and our district wide summer program coordinator, I’ve grown to love our students, families, and staff. I’m honored to serve our school in this new role and partner with teachers and families to provide an excellent, inclusive education.

I hold a BA in Writing Arts and a BA in Elementary Education from Rowan University, am a Certified Teacher of Reading, and earned my MA in Educational Leadership from Saint Elizabeth University. My leadership is relationship-driven, student-centered, and collaborative. You will find me visible and present in classrooms, at dismissal, and in conversations throughout our school, always accessible and invested in our students’ growth.

Brookside is home, and I am proud to serve our students, staff, and families. I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence, inclusion, and growth, and I am excited to lead Brookside into its next chapter with purpose, heart, and care.

Warmly, 

Christina Lam
