Hello: (updated on 09/03/24):

My name is Ms. Wray. I am so excited to teach and work with you and your children towards success and proficiency in the 8th grade math curriculum this 2024-2025 school year. I have been teaching secondary math in grades 7 - 12 for more than 20 years for the Yonkers Public School District.

My goal is to offer students an opportunity to enjoy and learn math in order to help them navigate real world experiences.  I want each of my students to be able to benefit from all the opportunities that will come as a result of possessing a math aptitude.
