👩🏫We're celebrating and welcoming our new teachers!
Anna Medionte joins us as a 3rd-grade teacher at Theodore Roosevelt, but due to our renovations, she will be at Thomas Jefferson during her first year! She comes to us after graduating from nearby Union-Endicott and Binghamton University, and says she has always known that she wanted to be a teacher from the time she was a young child. She said her 3rd-grade teacher's attention and help during a personal difficulty inspired her to work with this age group.
"If I could be half the teacher she was for me to my future students, I’ll be fulfilled!" Medionte said. "I LOVE building relationships with my students and cheering them on every day."
She decided to join the Patriots family after doing her student teaching at Calvin Coolidge two years ago and loving the community she found. Outside of school, she loves reading, doing artistic and creative projects, and taking care of her four cats and bunny with her fiancé!
Welcome, Miss Medionte! #BPatriotProud

Windsor native Maralee Bixby is joining us to teach 4th Grade at Woodrow Wilson Elementary! After finishing at Windsor High School, she graduated from SUNY Oneonta and is currently pursuing her master's in literacy from American College of Education. She says it has always been in her heart to be a teacher, and she was inspired by teachers throughout her life, in and out of the classroom, whom she looked up to.
"I feel very blessed to have always known that teaching is what I’m meant to do," Bixby said.
"My favorite part of teaching is creating a classroom that feels like a home away from home for my students. I love the connections I get to build with them and creating those core memories they’ll hopefully look back on one day. Some of my favorite moments are when they’re having so much fun that they don’t even realize they’re learning!"
She was drawn to the Binghamton City School District because of its strong sense of community and commitment to supporting all students, and is excited about the opportunity to join a diverse district where she could continue growing as an educator while making a positive impact.
Outside of the classroom, she loves singing, writing, trying new recipes, taking little road trips, spending time outside, shopping, watching movies, going to church, watching football, and spending time with her friends and family, including her dog, Hope. #BPatriotProud
