January Mentee 2024

I am truly honored to introduce and celebrate my January mentee, Louis Apuzzio. As a professor, I have had the pleasure of working with countless aspiring educators. Still, Mr. Apuzzio stands out as one of the most dedicated and passionate individuals I have had the privilege of mentoring. Currently employed by the Union City Board of Education, Mr. Apuzzio teaches 4th-grade Math and Science, and his enthusiasm for these subjects is contagious. It is clear that he truly loves what he does and is committed to making a positive impact on his students' lives. From his time at Union County College and Kean University, Mr. Apuzzio has already achieved so much, including publishing a math book titled Basic Facts for the 4 Operations. This is a testament to his hard work and determination, and I do not doubt that he will continue to achieve great things in the future. He is also deeply involved with his students on a personal level, running enrichment programs after school and developing an SEL (social and emotional learning) lunch program that promotes friendship and positivity. This shows his commitment to not only academic success but also the overall well-being of his students. As a fellow educator in New Jersey, I am proud to call Mr. Apuzzio a colleague and to witness the positive impact he is making in the public school system. He is a shining example of what it means to be a dedicated and passionate educator, and I have no doubt that he will continue to guide and inspire the next generation. Here's to an amazing 2024 and all the wonderful things that Mr. Apuzzio will accomplish in the future. Cheers to you, Louis Apuzzio! #armyofgreateducators #blessed #teacherlife @profeperez2017.
