• About Mr. Stathidis:

              I am very excited to work with the Brinckerhoff community and share the upcoming school year with you. I have been in education for 20 years and have taught various grade levels from 1st to 6th in a number of schools. In the past I've taught over at Myers Corners Elementary in grades 2 and 6 and before that I was over at Van Wyck teaching 6th grade.

              I am of Greek descent and am able to speak it, read it, and write it. My father was born in Greece and my mother was born in the United States from two Greek parents. I was happily married in the Greek Church and have a 9 year old son and a soon to be 4 year old son.

              I am an avid sports fan. I played ice hockey for 13 yrs, soccer for 8 yrs and baseball for 6 yrs. As for professional teams, I am a NY Rangers fan, and a New England Patriots fan.

              I have a passion for all animals. I have rescued quite a few animals. My dog, Rocky, Manchester Terrier mix was recently rescued. 

              On a final note, saving the best for last, I am a huge dark chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie fan and love eating at Wendys, Starbucks, Taco Bell and Jersey Mikes!

              I hope you have a great summer and I can’t wait to meet you!
