Greetings Fritz Parents/Families:

I am thrilled to introduce myself as your principal at J.E. Fritz Elementary. It is an honor to join such a vibrant and dedicated school community, and I am eager to work together to continue fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for our students. As we embark on this new school year, I am committed to building strong relationships with our students, families, and staff. My goal is to ensure that every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their fullest potential. I believe that collaboration between home and school is key to student success, and I look forward to partnering with you to create the best possible educational experience for our children. At J.E. Fritz, we will continue to prioritize academic excellence while nurturing the social, emotional, and creative development of each student. I am passionate about fostering a culture of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where every child can thrive in a safe and welcoming environment.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Quinnipiac University and went on to receive my Master's in Teaching, also from Quinnipiac. I later earned my Doctor of Education from Neumann University. 

Please know that my door is always open. I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. I am here to listen, learn, and lead our school with a shared vision of excellence for all. Thank you for welcoming me into this wonderful community. Together, let’s make this school year one filled with growth, discovery, and joy. Go Buckskins!

Dr. Trovato, Principal

I am so excited to be joining the Fritz Community!  This will be my 14th year in education.  I’ve taught grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.  I am originally from the western part of the state, near Oil City, PA.  I grew up there and taught in the Cranberry Area School District for 7.5 years.

I then moved to State College and taught elementary there, along with being an MTSS Coordinator.  Education is my passion and I love working with kids and helping them grow.

I just recently moved to the area. I’m really looking forward to the school year and working with our Fritz Students, Families, Staff, and Community.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can assist in any way.

Lawrence Bell, Assistant Principal
