Hello parents & guardians, I'm Marianne Cooper, a former LBHS grad! This is my 2nd year here teaching at my Alma Mater and where most of my family (and children) have graduated. My husband is Lee Cooper and works as the District Chief (Firefighter) of Boca Grande Fire Department. We have 2 son's (Christian- works in construction & Noah- a Firefighter for Sarasota). We also have a daughter, Hope is a current student here at LB! And..can't forget about our 2 fur babies Kylo & Bing. We love camping at Disney Fort Wilderness and traveling (Maui my fave)! I've taught Kindergarten at a private school, and at LA Ainger Middle (6-8) CD/ASD Unit for 5 years. Most recently, I taught at SKY Academy Englewood (6) Earth & Space Science. I started the Chorus Club at both Ainger and SKY Academy where my students had opportunities such as singing the National Anthem at the Stone Crabs baseball games and singing/voice overs at Disney/Epcot. Singing is an important part of my life. I am a singer for the Tampa Bay Rays and consider this a great honor to perform the National Anthem and God Bless America for the best baseball MLB team! I am looking forward to an amazing school year with your child. Please feel free to contact me via email or ClassDojo! GO Manta Rays LBHS!
