Congratulations Ms. Grasso!! We’re so glad you’re at EMS!! Keep being great!! 🧡🖤Lynda Grasso, a science teacher at East Middle School
A team member said the following about Lynda, “Ms. Grasso has been proactive in bringing in ideas and materials for labs and discoveries and is a very supportive team member. Being new to East Middle, I’ve appreciated the way she’s gone above and beyond to help me get settled. She has been fantastic in sharing her science expertise and has been a great teammate, making my transition a lot easier. She’s a huge asset to our school, and I think she deserves some recognition for all she does.” A student added, “Ms. Grasso always provides a fun activity, a safe place, and thorough instructions. She always accommodates all of her students’ needs and provides interactive assignments to make sure that her students can learn in a way that’s enjoyable and easy to understand. Her classroom is a place where students can feel welcome. She always makes sure that each student has equal opportunities in the classroom. She always provides detailed and descriptive instructions for each assignment and even spends extra time with students who need help. Ms. Grasso also ensures her students feel safe in every class. She always makes all of her students feel important and wanted. She is very encouraging and supportive of all her students and their interests. Thank you, Ms. Grasso.”
