Hello my name is Miss Theresa Ruggirello and I am going to be your child's reading teacher this year! In addition, I am in charge of the St. Stephen School Green Club. This is my 2^nd year teaching here at St. Stephen School. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Childhood Education with a concentration in English from Buffalo State College. I am currently studying to obtain my Master’s degree in Literacy from The University at Buffalo.

Working with children is my passion! Every day I strive to teach and work to the best of my ability while teaching my students to do the same! Communication between home and school is very important to me! My door is always open so feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or concerns you may have.

My email address: Ruggirellot@ststephensgi.org
