Nancy LaCorte
Nancy believes when a child enters PreK there is a village of Warriors that stand beside them, rooting for their success long after they graduate. The village isn’t just the teacher, it includes the paraprofessionals, custodians, security, food services, guidance counselors, coaches, administration, BOE, the community, etc. who work as a team with the parents and family. She is so proud that FTPS offers so many model academic and co-curricular offerings where there is something for everyone; where the whole child is enriched; and every child is seen and heard as an individual. Nancy is proud of the work the district has done and would like to continue to roll up her sleeves and work hard for our children.
​
Nancy appreciates the support and confidence of the voters and is asking for your support once again when you visit the polls on November 8th, please vote for the team of Jackson, LaCorte, and Singh.
