Hello! My name is Heather Laraia. I'm so excited to be your child's teacher this year! This will be my 12th year teaching at Benson. My husband, Joe, and I have two kids, Rosalyn and Joe. I love spending time with my family, going on walks, and trying new restaurants. Teaching is my true passion in life. I promise to love your child as if they were my own. Our classroom will be a safe, engaging, and fun place to be. It is going to be an awesome year!
