Mrs. Renaud

My name is Paula Renaud. I teach 7th Grade Science at the Sullivan School. In 8th grade Science, we explore chemical interactions, heredity and adaptation, planetary science, gravity, and current events and discoveries in science. 
 
When I'm not teaching I can usually be found at the New England Aquarium in the penguin tank where I've been volunteering for the last 6 years. In the winter I also help with sea turtle rescue and in the summer I lead groups of students through the Live Blue Service Initiative with the aquarium. 
​
Fun fact: I've met Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye (childhood hero!) They say "never meet your heroes" but these two exceeded my expectations, complete with a bow tie and star vest.

Mrs. Rothschild

I’m Karen Rothschild seventh grade ELA teacher. I have taught at the Sullivan for the past twenty years. Prior to that, I taught a variety of grades, frankly everything from nursery school to adults.

Seventh grade is my favorite and the students at the Sullivan are the best! I look forward to several more years of teaching before they force me to retire because if left up to me I’ll teach until I’m 100!

Mrs. Graziani

Welcome to 7th Grade science, my name is Nancy Graziani.  I am a self-proclaimed Math Geek and I love sharing my love of science with my students.  Don't let my age fool you, I'm a relatively new teacher.  My previous jobs were as an engineer for Raytheon Co. and as a mom to 3 daughters.   Having worked in engineering allows me to show my students all the wonderful ways science is used "in the real world".  This comes in handy when I'm asked the inevitable question, "When am I ever going to use this????"
I love to travel and meet new people.  Working at the Sullivan brings the world to me through the diverse background of my students.  I'm honored to be their teacher.
