Welcome to Camp Spatuzzi! I am excited about being your child's tour guide throughout this exciting first year of school.  In case you are wondering about me, I originally went to school to become a pilot.  I learned quickly though that I am better off with both feet on the ground! In 2002, I graduated from St. John Fisher and then received my master's from SUNY Geneseo a year later. I began teaching in the Rochester area, but have been here in New Hartford for fifteen years. In nineteen years, I have taught every elementary grade except fifth.  It is in Kindergarten though that I am excited about finding a home.  The joy in a child's eye when they read their first book or find themselves in an "aha moment" reminds me of why I became a teacher. I want to experience these moments for years to come!
