Hello! My name is Imani Boyce, and I’m so excited to be teaching second grade at Tarpon Springs Fundamental this year! This marks my ninth year with Pinellas County Schools, and I continue to find great joy in watching students grow and deepen their love for learning.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from St. Petersburg College and hold endorsements in ESOL, Reading, and Micro-Gifted education. As a teacher, my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and engaging classroom where students feel empowered to grow into lifelong learners and responsible members of their community.
I am a proud Florida native and currently live in Trinity with my two French Bulldogs, Winston and Oliver, and my sweet cat, Emmie. Outside of school, I love spending time along Florida’s beautiful coast, hiking with my pups, traveling, baking, and tending to my garden. I’m looking forward to a fantastic school year and can’t wait to get to know all of you!

I'm Lisa Montie, and I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade Math and Science at Tarpon Fundamental. This will be my 21st year teaching full time in Pinellas County. Originally from Pennsylvania, I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Penn State University. My husband, Rob and I moved to the East Lake area thirty years ago and consider Florida "home". We enjoy spending time with our two children. Our daughter, Luka is a sophomore at East Lake High School and our son, Rent is a grad student at Duke University. I also enjoy being outside, running, biking, and watching my kids play football and volleyball.

As a teacher, I think it's important for all students to feel special and valued in the classroom. Working in a comfortable environment, students are more willing to take academic risks, and work hard to achieve their personal goals.

I am Zach VanStratt, and I’m ecstatic to be teaching 5th grade Reading and Writing this year at Tarpon Fundamental.  Prior to becoming a schoolteacher, I worked as a professional musician; I was (and still am) a performer, writer, recording artist, sound engineer… I even wound up owning the guitar shop that I grew up with.  However, the most important thing that I have done as a musician is to be a teacher.

 Though this may only be my 2nd year as a schoolteacher, I have been giving private music lessons for 16 years.  Along with music and education, I also have a strong STEM background.  I am a certified electronics technician, specializing in the repair and restoration of professional and commercial audio equipment (particularly guitar amplifiers).  Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our cats, reading and writing,

teaching/writing/performing music, and I’m also an avid beach volleyball player.
