My name is Jennifer Minerva and this is my 25th year teaching at Long Beach Catholic School. Both the school and the community of Long Beach have become my second home. I have taught several grades over my many years here and I'm very excited to be teaching 1st grade again this year.
I received my Bachelors Degree from Molloy College in Psychology and Elementary Education. I have a Masters Degree from Adelphi University in Reading, as well a second Masters Degree in Social Work from Fordham University.
In my spare time I enjoy reading and running. I've run several half marathons and have run the New York City Marathon twice. My all time favorite thing to do is spend time with my 6 year old son Jack.
