Meet our Bilingual Secretary, Veronica Fetzer
Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Mrs. Veronica Fetzer moved to the USA to pursue a master’s in education at Purdue University in Indiana. She has lived in Peru, Spain, Belgium, Holland, and the USA and speaks English and Spanish fluently. Prior to arriving in Flemington, Mrs. Fetzer had worked as a teacher for 15 years. Mrs. Fetzer moved to Flemington 19 years ago with her husband and son. A few years later her daughter was born. Her son is a junior at TCNJ and her daughter is a sophomore at Hunterdon Central. Since arriving in Flemington, she has been volunteering in the community, particularly at the schools her children have attended. She loves to travel with her family and learn about different people, cultures, and places. Mrs. Fetzer also loves reading, long nature walks, and meditating. She’s a proud member of the community and enjoys helping others. She is very excited to join and collaborate with the RH family to make our community an even better place for everyone.

Please review the schedule carefully, as you can choose which sessions you will be attending. See the schedule here: Back To School Night Schedule
