Ms.Turnbull smiles for the camera.

Mrs. Turnbull is new at Woodbridge Middle and is excited for the upcoming year. She is looking forward to the many events and activities at WMS. Mrs. Turnbull has teaching experience in many different grades.

Mrs. Turnbull attended Kean University and East Stroudsburg University where she earned a Teacher of The Handicapped Degree and a Bachelor’s Degree.  

When asked why Mrs. Turnbull wanted to become a teacher, she said that she had a teacher in elementary school who she didn’t like. Mrs. Turnbull says she disliked this teacher because she “had favorites”. This inspired Mrs. Turnbull to become a teacher because she wanted to prove that teachers can do what they’re supposed to do, while being well liked.

Mrs. Turnbull attended Woodbridge Middle as a student. When asked how it felt to be back here teaching, she said that it was strange and different, but also comforting because she still knew where most things were and there are many familiarities.  Mrs. Turnbull is thrilled for her first year teaching at WMS, but she said that it is a big change from elementary school.  She is looking forward to meeting many new students.

When asked what she enjoys doing during her free time, Mrs. Turnbull says, “I enjoy camping, cheering on my kids during their sporting events, and, well, relaxing on my couch.”

As a child, Mrs. Turnbull attended Ross Street, Woodbridge Middle School, and Woodbridge High School.  Woodbridge Middle School welcomes you!
