2/3/4: lAURA rUSSO
Ms. Laura has joined the Progressive School of Long Island after working for 25 years as an elementary educator in the North Bellmore School District. She graduated from Adelphi University with a BA in Business, and Adelphi University with an MA in Elementary Education. To spend more time with her family, she recently retired, but couldn’t stay away from children for very long. Her love of children and teaching brought her here where she works part-time with second, third and fourth graders. Outside of this position, Laura is married and has two wonderful boys, ages 20 and 16. She loves spending time with her family, especially outdoors. Walking, hiking, biking and cooking nutritious meals and desserts for her family take up most of her free time. Laura has also recently trained to be an Executive Function Coach, as well as a Functional Nutrition Coach.
