About Mrs. Puglisi:

Hello Families,

My name is Thaya Puglisi. 

Welcome to second grade and Room 215. I look forward to a fun year with your
children. I would like to introduce myself so you can get to know me better.

I have over fifteen years of teaching experience. I have taught first grade,
second grade and fourth grade. By far, my favorite is second grade. Cole
School is a wonderful place to work. It is a great learning community with
caring administration, teachers, and parents working together. 

Teaching has been my passion since I was in kindergarten. I grew up with both
my parents teaching. My mom was a reading teacher and is now retired, however
still substituting in the elementary schools in York, Maine. My dad was a
social studies teacher, basketball and football coach, and an athletic
director. In his retirement, he still coaches basketball and officiates
baseball games. 

Ironically, since becoming a teacher, my husband, my two siblings, and their
spouses are all now in the education field. This makes for some interesting
family dinners. I am the only one of the six of us that work at the elementary
level. They feel I am crazy, however they don't know how lucky I am to watch
young children really engage in learning. It is so rewarding watching children
solve problems and show a real enthusiasm for coming to school each day.

It is my hope that this upcoming school year with your children is no
different. I look forward to another great year at Cole School.
