    Welcome to an exciting year in third grade. My name is Monica Fitzgerald and I am privileged to be your child's teacher this year.
This year is my 23nd year of teaching, and my 16th year at

Randolph Heights Elementary School. Prior to my position here, I taught at another elementary school in St. Paul for five years and at a parochial school for another three. My experience has been in grades one, two, three, and four. I received my

teaching degree from Winona State University (the 2008 NCAA Division II National champs in mens basketball!) and earned a Masters degree from the University of St. Thomas in 1995.

    Aside from really liking the job I get to

go to every day, I  enjoy my life outside of school as well.  I love reading (surprise!), travel,  good movies, baseball, and cheesecake.  Not necessarily in that order.

    I, too, am a busy parent. My husband,

Brian, and I have 3 children: our daughter, Erin, is a senior at the University of Minnesota Duluth; Tommy, our son, is a sophmore at Winona State University; and our youngest, Andrew, is 16 and a senior at Tartan High School.  Oh yes - we also

have a big, slobbery, huggable black lab/golden retriever/chesapeake bay retriever  mix we rescued four years ago.  She's almost as messy as a teenager!

    I look forward to a fun and exciting year!
