Liam Kessler - Assistant Teacher
Hi, my name is Liam Kessler and I'm joining The Green School staff starting in the 2018-19 school year! I've had the privilege of living in East Hampton for most of my life and after graduating from The University of Delaware in 2017, I moved to Springs where I live now. I absolutely love everything about the outdoors. I spend most of my free time fishing, diving, clamming and exploring. When I'm not in the water, I enjoy playing golf, cooking and playing the guitar. I'm fascinated by animals of all kinds and I share this interest with my two cats: Karen and Mouse.
I'm excited to be joining The Green School team because I love working with children and sharing my enthusiasm for nature and animals with them. I'm looking forward to being a part of such an amazing group and I can't wait to meet each student!
Nicole Re - Assistant Teacher
Nicole has been an advocate for health and wellness for the past 10 years on the East End of Long Island and NYC. She has a calling to share her knowledge of health, wellness and mindfulness teaching Yoga, Personal Training, Health Coaching, Lyme Disease Patient Advocacy and Cooking Privately with families with an emphasis on organic, sustainable, farm-to-table and Ayurveda. She believes in nourishing the whole body and mind. Also trained in Trauma Informed Yoga she works with underprivileged/under-served communities using meditation and yoga for healing. She is caring and guides with love and compassion honoring each individual.
Always in pursuit of how to be of the highest service, she recently felt called to work with children. Becoming a mother three years ago created a new perspective on direction: they are the future! Teaching children from a place of love and mindfulness and to connect with the earth - it was a natural fit with The Green School. Nicole looks forward to getting to know each child's personal needs to play, learn and be silly this 2018-2019 school year!

Brooke Monfort - Assistant Teacher & Program Coordinator
Hi there, I'm Brooke and I joined The Green School Team in June 2018. I thoroughly enjoy nature and feel that protecting and sustaining our environment is extremely important. I am happiest spending my time outdoors: going to the beach, hiking, and scuba diving. I am also passionate about yoga, jewelry making, and anything craft related! I love being able to educate children with an emphasis on natural living and enjoying our environment. As a child, my favorite thing to do was explore the woods and dig in my neighbor's garden. It is an honor to be a part of an education system that shares this experience with children and allows them to flourish as individuals! |
