Mrs. Haviland

Dear Casimir Pulaski School Families,

Hello, my name is Mary Haviland and I am your new English as a New Language (ENL) teacher this year for grades K-8. I was born in the Bronx. I went to kindergarten in Puerto Rico. Then I grew up in Larchmont, NY. I studied Spanish all through middle school, high school and college and attended the 'Instituto Internacional' in Madrid, Spain for 1 year. I graduated from Binghamton University with a double major in English Literature and Spanish. After teaching English as a Second Language in Hita, Japan, I decided to become an ESL teacher in New York. I have enjoyed teaching ENL in Yonkers schools since 1992. Currently, I live in Mamaroneck, with my husband and 2 dogs, Lance and Merlin. Our two children, Milo and Samantha, are away at college and boarding school. My favorite hobbies are walking, swimming, biking and I love to read fantasy and mystery novels. I look forward to a wonderful new school year. I am very happy to join the Casimir Pulaski community, and I look forward to working with and meeting you all!
