Hi! My name is Jennifer Marsala. This will be my fourth year teaching at Essex Elementary School. I have taught pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade. First grade is such an exciting time where students are exploring, creating, and learning. Watching the spark of joy in a child's eyes when they discover something new gives me purpose in my job as their teacher! I am thrilled to be starting a new school year!

I got married this past June, so if you see 'Miss Rinehart' anywhere, know that that is also me! When I am not at school I love to run, hike, read, and play with my six year old dog, Maple.

I will be posting our newsletters on this site to refer back to, as well as some useful learning links!
