She holds a bachelor's degree in Dual Early Childhood/Childhood Education with a concentration in History from Iona University and is currently pursuing her master's degree in Education Technology and Instructional Design from Western Governors University. Miss Fitzgerald has four years of teaching experience, including three years in 1st grade and one year in 2nd grade.
Growing up on Long Island, New York, Miss Fitzgerald comes from a big family with a strong teaching legacy. Her mom is a middle school Spanish teacher and her grandmother was an elementary school teacher in Argentina. Inspired by them, she always wanted to be a teacher and even used her mom's old plan books to play school as a child.
Now in her third year in Illinois, Miss Fitzgerald enjoys reading on her Kindle, crocheting, and spending time with loved ones, including her Siamese cat, Dino. We are so excited to have her positive energy and experience join our Fisher Grade School family! Go Bunnies!

The 8th graders at FJHS kicked off science class with a twist—turning one sheet of paper into the longest chain possible! Along the way, they flexed their skills in metric measurement and conversions. It was a nail-biter, but the winning chain stretched to 1259 cm—just 1 cm longer than the runner-up! Big shout out to the winning team: Jesse Hansens, Audrey Baer, and Collin Vincent.
We're so excited to invite special people or grandparents in your child's life to enjoy a sweet treat & visit their classroom.
