About the Author: My name is Kara Rossi. I was born and raised in Bristol, Connecticut and for the past 16 years I have been teaching in my hometown. The majority of my teaching years have been spent in 2nd grade, but I’ve also taught 1st and 5th grade. I currently teach at Greene-Hills School. We are a Kids at Hope School. My goal is for all of my students is for them to believe in themselves and know they are capable of success….no exceptions. When I’m not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family and working out.
