Kimberly Granato

2nd Grade Teacher

This is my first year full time teaching. I graduated from West Chester University and I am very excited to get started with the school year. Because this is my first year teaching, and the fact that my students are coming from low in-come households, any donation will help! I want to be able to provide my students with a wonderful and rich learning environment that they can grow in!
