Hi! My name is Miss Lisa Tambini, and I am ecstatic to be your child’s fifth grade homeroom teacher for the 2025-2026 school year at Edward J Patten Elementary School! This school year, I am teaching Writing, Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.

I am a college undergraduate from Monmouth University located in West Long Branch, NJ with a dual major in English and Elementary Education. I knew I wanted to become a teacher at a very young age. My love for teaching continues to blossom every day! I am very thankful to have the opportunity to teach your child. I am entering my 9th year of teaching, and each school year I am reminded how much I truly love what I do! :)
