Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year!
I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Ms. Morgana, and I’ll be your child’s robotics teacher this year. I’m excited to bring curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving into our classroom every day.

About Me
Outside of teaching, I love sports (especially soccer & the Yankees) and spending time with my golden retriever, Hudson. Hudson is North Bergen’s very first certified therapy dog, and he’ll often be with me in the classroom. He brings a lot of joy and comfort to students and staff. I’m so excited for him to be part of our school community.
About Our Class
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. In our class, students will explore new ideas, create projects with hands-on tools, and learn to think like innovators. We’ll use 3D printers, coding robots, design software, and makerspace materials to bring learning to life.
Collaboration and communication are at the forefront of what we do. Students will learn to explore, work together, ask questions, and problem-solve as a team. My role as a teacher isn’t to hand over the answers, but to provide the tools and environment where students can discover them. Sometimes that means tinkering and figuring things out in a single class period, and other times it may take weeks. What matters most is perseverance: looking at problems from all angles, trying and failing, and learning to use the resources around us.
Every Friday is dedicated to “makerspace choice,” where students can follow their curiosity and explore something that excites them.
I look forward to an amazing year together. Let’s make it a year full of learning, creativity, and growth!
