Sarah Murmello
Mrs. Murmello has been teaching for 10 years, teaching both first and second grade in Brockton and Fall River and now K-8 ESL for the past 5 years. She started teaching in Somerset at North and SMS in September 2023. Mrs. Murmello went to Stonehill College (where she met her now husband at their freshman orientation) for undergrad in Elementary Education and Mathematics and Bridgewater State for her masters in TESOL.
Outside of school, she loves to spend time with her 3 year old, Ava, and her husband, Matt. They love to spend time outside together. In the summer, the Mrs. Murmello and her family love going to Cape Cod and spending time on the beach and on her uncle's boat. She is also a Disney lover!
She is so glad to be continuing her teaching career in Somerset and loves all of the staff and students!
Parent teacher conferences will be held in-person on December 5 from 12:30-7:00 PM. Classroom teachers should have emailed sign up links directly this past week, but the links to all faculty sign-ups can be found on this document. In addition to classroom teachers, the document includes related service providers (speech, occupational therapy, BCBA), SEL providers (psychologist, school adjustment counselor), specialists (art, music, health, PE, technology), special educators, interventionists, and our English Learner teacher.
