I am Monica Furfari.  I have been teaching in Catholic Schools for 31 years, both part time and full-time.  I received my bachelor degree from Ursuline College and continued education coursework at Cleveland State University. I was born in Cleveland and grew up in Garfield Heights where I attended St. Timothy School on East 131st Street. I am married and have three wonderful daughters.  I am excited to be part of the St. Adalbert community serving the children in the 1st grade.

My hobbies are hiking with my puggle, Molly and traveling with my family.  

The reason I went into teaching was because when taking a class in college, I fell in love with a course in Children’s Literature. This ignited a passion in me, and a desire to teach!  I can’t wait to share my library with the children here at St. Adalbert Catholic School!
