🌟Mrs. Nicole Caturano - LMS Weekly Teacher Feature 🌟
Meet Mrs. Caturano, a Lincoln Middle School science educator.
Mrs. Caturano began her career as a meteorologist, forecasting weather and sharing her expertise on the radio for four years. However, her passion for education led her to transition into teaching, where she has dedicated herself to the field of science education for an impressive 21 years. 📚🌦️
Teaching in Kearny Schools has been a rewarding experience for her, and she noted the district’s diversity and excitement. She said, "I’ve worked in Kearny schools for 20 years and it’s been a great experience”. 🏫📝
Beyond her dedication in the classroom, Nicole is compassionate and volunteers her time to rescue and support animals in need. 🐾🤗
We are thrilled to have Mrs. Caturano as part of our LMS family.

LMS students from Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kelly-Morales classes took some time to spread kindness. Our students wrote get well cards to Joy, a student from Passaic, NJ. The young girl in the picture was unfortunately struck by a car while crossing the street with her father. Well done LMS!!

Oops, Principal Hempel! 🎄 Our surprise teacher pajama party was all in good cheer! We hope it brings as much joy to you as it did to us. A huge shoutout to the organizers for masterminding this festive fun. Spreading holiday spirit (and a little mischief) at LMS! 🤫🎅 #JollyJrKards
