Welcome to the inaugural edition of our new Teacher and Staff Spotlight Series! This week, Get to know Mrs. Berman!

​Mrs. Berman is a first grade teacher at Hillsdale Elementary School.  Originally from Springfield, Pennsylvania, she has been a first grade teacher for 12 years and a proud Hillsdale Husky for 9!  We asked Mrs. Berman a few questions so we could all get to know her a little better!



What is your favorite type of food?
Italian!
Do you collect anything?
I like to collect shells from the beach.
 
If you weren’t a teacher, would do you think you would be?
A baker, because I love baking!
 
What do you like to do on the weekends?
I enjoy playing with my two kids, Connor and Olivia. We love to go to the park, play outside, do puzzles, and read books.  I also like to go shopping!
 
What do you like to do for fun?
Besides being with my kids, I like to workout, shop, decorate, and watch HGTV!  If it was summer, I love being at the pool and the shore.
 
Where is one place you have never been, but would love visit?
Ireland!
 
What is something that we wouldn’t know about you?
I worked at Saratoga Race Track in Saratoga Springs, NY for many summers as a waitress after I graduated from college.  I worked with my sister which made it more fun.  It was an awesome summer job because we both are teachers!
 
If you could give any advice to your students, what would it be?
Keep trying!  If you don’t understand something the first time, it’s okay!  Try again and you will get it!
 
What is your favorite quote?
“When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems uphill,
when the funds are low and the debts are high,
and you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest if you must, but don't you quit!”
 
What are some of your favorite books?
I like to read books written by Jane Green, Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks.  For kids books, I like anything by Eric Carle.  His books are amazing!!
