My name is James Riccitelli but I'm more commonly known as Mr. Rich. I teach pre-k through 3rd grade Physical Education at the lower school, Clarence Rogers. I was born at Yale-New Haven Hospital and grew up in Cheshire, CT. In my free time, I love hiking with my dog, fishing, camping, and playing sports such as hockey and baseball. My favorite foods are pizza (especially from Modern!!), pasta, and steak. I bring a good sense of pride, respect, and passion to my teaching along with my mottoes, "Respect is earned not given," and "Do or do not, there is no try." In my classroom, students will participate in an array of activities geared towards reaching the goal of a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
I'm currently working towards my Master's Degree in Health and Wellness from the American College of Education. I am enjoying taking the information I am learning in class and applying it to my classroom everyday! As of February 17, I became a father of a beautiful baby girl and I'm looking forward to being dad and watching her grow over the years.
