"Making a difference, one child at a time."
My name is Mrs. Puzo and this is my sixth year teaching at Holy Family School. I am the 6th grade homeroom teacher and the 5th and 6th Grade Science teacher. I will also be teaching Religion to 6th grade.
I grew up in Bellerose, Queens and then moved to Long Island about seven years ago. I attended St. Gregory the Great School from N-8th and Kellenberg Memorial from 9th-12th. In 2015, I graduated with my Bachelors in Early Childhood (B-2)/Childhood (1-6) Education from Molloy College. In August of 2017, I graduated Molloy College with my Masters in Special Education. This was an exciting year for me, as I gave birth to my first child, Jack. It has been such an amazing experience watching him grow each and every day.
I started my career teaching 4th grade at Our Lady of Victory in Floral Park. After a year of teaching at OLV, I came to Holy Family. I taught 4th grade here at Holy Family for four years. This will be my second year teaching 5th & 6th grade Science. Working at Holy Family has been an amazing experience. I get excited to come to work everyday because of the students and the faculty and staff. I feel grateful to be part of such a wonderful school and community.
2021 - 2022 School Year
What can students look forward to when they join your class?
Welcome to the 6th grade! I am so excited to have you as my student this year. I look forward to watching you grow academically, socially, and emotionally throughout this school year. My goal this year is to open your eyes to the scientific world! It may be challenging at times, but we will get through it together and Science will be your favorite subject come June!
