Instructors: Mrs. Coffey and Ms. Fornaro

Mrs. Coffey

Hi, Spring Avenue Lions! My name is Gianna Coffey and I teach 5th grade. I graduated in 2017 with a degree in Elementary Education and Special Education from Ball State University. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Reading Literacy from Lewis University and will graduate in the Spring of 2021. This will be my 5th year at Spring Avenue! I previously taught 2nd grade and then taught one year of remote fifth grade. I look forward to being in-person with my 5th graders this school year. I appreciate and welcome frequent parent-teacher communication and collaboration to make this a safe, fun, and productive school year! Visit Mrs. Coffey's Google Classroom page.
