Welcome parents and students! My name is Coley Polizzi and I grew up a native
Floridian in Coral Gables, FL.  As a graduate of Appalachian State University
in Boone, NC, I received my B.A. in English and minored in Spanish.  I
furthered my education by taking several extra semesters at Florida
International University.  

After college, I worked for a non-profit organization as the Director of
Communications.  Although this was a rewarding career, I always wanted to work
with children and was then recruited by Gulliver Academy in Coral Gables,
FL.  After five years of service, I moved to Jensen Beach to be closer to my
mother, father and grandfather. I then taught English, grades 5-8, at St.
Andrew's School and also coached softball. It is wonderful to be back in the
beautiful state of North Carolina.  This will be my third year at St.
Raphael's as a Middle School Language Arts teacher.  

My classroom goal is to enable each child to become an independent thinker
utilize organizational skills, analyze different genres of literature and
become strong,effective writers.

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and can't wait to have a
successful year!
