Hello! My name is Marilena Puma. I attended St. Thomas Aquinas College and graduated with a BS in Elementary Education and with a minor in Social Science. I attended Seton Hall University and graduated with an MA in Elementary Education. I previously taught at SJA in Hillsdale, NJ. There I taught second grade for 4 years and third grade for 3 years. This is my 12th year teaching first grade at Roosevelt School. I absolutely love being a first grade teacher and look forward to another amazing school year.
I have been married for 17 years to my wonderful husband Peter. We have 2 beautiful little girls named Ava and Eliana. Ava is 13 years old and is excited to be starting eigth grade this fall and Eliana is 7 and very excited to start second. In my spare time, I like to be with my family, friends and our dog Hazel. I also love relaxing on the beach, riding four wheelers at our country house, rollerblading/bike riding, shopping and of course teaching!
