Mr. Cardone is happy to be going into his second year as the Physical Education teacher at Explore Middle School. After graduating from North Bergen High School, Mr. Cardone accepted a Division 2 scholarship to play baseball at Bloomfield College. Through careful consideration he then transferred to Montclair State University where he graduated with his B.A. in Science with a concentration in Health and Physical Education. This will be Mr. Cardone’s first full year teaching at Explore Middle School, where he will also conduct intramurals for the students after school. Mr. Cardone’s goal is for all students to take away lessons from her class regarding teamwork, specifically communication, social interaction, and knowledge of unique and fun ways to exercise and stay healthy throughout their lives. Outside of the gymnasium, Mr. Cardone enjoys visiting different MLB stadiums, hiking, and exercising regularly.
