Teacher as Fire Starter - Charleen Martinelli Schwartzman

Charlene sparks fire: smart, insightful, fearless, and driven.  She is also my friend of twenty years.  A math teacher at Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, NJ for over 24 years, she was awarded Teacher of the Year in 2016. Her goal for her students: give them a safe-place to fly. For herself, never stop learning and helping children.  You want her in the foxhole with you.
