Welcome to Mrs. Cruz' Art Page!

My name is Mrs. Jenny Cruz, I'm very happy and proud to be part of the North Bergen family of educators. I am one of two Art Teachers at Horace Mann and plan to share my knowledge, love and enthusiasm for the arts with my students to the best of my ability throughout the school year. I am a graduate of the School of Visual Arts, NYC where I studied Painting, Drawing, Sculpting, Photography and Graphic Design. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts and Graphic Design. I have been a resident of North Bergen for over 25 years and resided in neighboring Union City since I was born. I am bilingual. I speak, read, and write Spanish fluently. I am passionate and dedicated to the arts, education, children and family.

Let's have an amazing and CREATIVE year... no matter where we teach and learn from!
