The Staff Behind the Series

Gaffney Team

Several Gaffney Elementary School staff members (Scarlett Carroll, Mary Gray, Jena Navarro, Geoff Ponticelli, JP Filigrana, Courtney Scotto, and Mike Kulak) were recognized with Superintendent’s Challenge Coins after being nominated by Anita Fazio, Principal of Gaffney Elementary School, for their exceptional collaboration and commitment to supporting students and families.

As a team of certified staff, they created a four-part video series providing families with practical, research-based strategies to support their child’s language and literacy development at home. Each video was intentionally designed to be brief, engaging, and accessible, and was produced in both English and Spanish to ensure equitable access for families.

The series will be shared here and on Gaffney Elementary School and CSDNB social media platforms to extend its reach and impact. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to family engagement, equity, and instructional excellence, strengthening the home–school partnership and extending learning beyond the classroom in meaningful ways.

New episodes will premiere here at www.csdnb.org/nationalreadingmonth every Thursday, featuring tips for parents and guardians to help their child's literacy skills grow!
