All About Ms. Marra
Hello Family and Friends!! I am Ms. Marra. This is my 14th year teaching in Long Branch! I taught 2nd Grade for 8 years, and 3rd Grade for 5 years, and this year I am starting my journey as a ESL Support Teacher. I can't wait to go into multiple classrooms to work with our Gregory Students! Ever since I was a little girl, it was my dream to become a teacher.I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as Elementary Education. Then, I graduated from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) with my masters degree in English as a Second language.
I am very family oriented. I have a handsome nephew and two beautiful nieces who I just adore and love to pieces. Some of my favorite things to do are spend time with my family and friends, relax by the pool, and travel (whenever I get the opportunity!)
I am PROUD to say that I am Gregory's 2021-2022 Teacher of the Year!! I absolutely love teaching and winning this award in such an amazing district has meant the world to me!!
I am also proud to say that I have had the privilege to coach Cheerleading at the Long Branch High school for 8 years! Though I am no longer coaching, I will always bleed GREEN AND WHITE!!! Go Green Wave!!!
In my years of teaching so far, I have learned that each and everyday is a fun adventure. I try my best to make class fun, engaging and hands on!
I look forward to a productive and successful school year!
