Nicole Perri, Kindergarten

Nicole Perri is entering her fifth year of teaching Kindergarten.  Having spent numerous years teaching in different school districts, Ms. Perri is joining the Green Woods team this year! She is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University with her Bachelors of Science degree in Kindergarten and Elementary Education. Ms. Perri’s favorite part of teaching five and six year olds is watching them learn and grow over the year!

Nicole grew up in Bucks County, and recently moved right around the corner from Green Woods to Roxborough with her dog Kramer! In her free time, Ms. Perri enjoys reading, doing puzzles and running. Ms. Perri is looking forward to making a difference in your child’s life and working as a team to make Kindergarten a great success!

I am looking forward to becoming part of the unique team of teachers that make up Green Woods! In my search for a kindergarten teaching position, I came across the Green Woods website. I was amazed at what a unique and hands-on school that Green Woods is! Being able to integrate all aspects of the curriculum and “bringing the classroom outside,” were only a few of the main reasons I wanted to teach here! I feel that most students learn best when they are directly exposed to what they are learning. Being able to have the 300 acres of forest to explore and learn from is something I truly cannot wait to discover with my students! I feel honored to have been chosen to be a part of the Green Woods team!

Mary Frances (Mimi) Wainwright, Nurse

Students learn best when they are healthy.  As the School Nurse at GWCS  I am dedicated to promoting and protecting the health of every student and all staff in our school and in the unique environment here at Green Woods Charter School.  I strive everyday to help guide students to develop good health habits that will last a lifetime.  Of particular concern to me as a school nurse is to assist in identifying and providing support for health conditions that adversely impact a student’s learning.

I am certified as a School Nurse/Educational Specialist by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania .  I continue to enrich my nursing specialty by completing additional graduate level classes in School Nursing and School Law.  My memberships include Pennsylvania School Nurses Association, National Association of School Nurses and American Holistic Nurses Association.

Mimi lives with her husband Chris and two sons, Ryan, a student at Gwynedd Mercy College and Ben, a freshman at PhilMont Christian Academy, their ten year old Dachund, Oliver and Ringo, their huge Maine Coon Cat.  Her hobbies include cooking, reading for her book club,watching independent or foreign films, alternative healing and anything Celtic.
