BA, Psychology - Rutgers University MA, Counseling in Educational Setting - Rowan University Certification: School Counselor
Mr. Daniel Fimiani, 7th Grade School Counselor
Now this is a story all about how
Mr. Fim grew up in a small little town
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right still
I'll tell you how he became a counselor at Bunker Hill.
In Southern New Jersey, born and raised
Playin' sports is where he spent most of his days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin’ some b-ball out in the yard.
When a couple of kids came over to play
They’d be outside until the end of the day.
Played baseball at Rutgers and earned a Bachelor’s degree
Then onto a Master’s at Rowan University.
He hunted for a job and when it came ‘round
Bunker Hill was the place to settle it down
If anything he could say that this job was chill
So he said, Yo I’m here! Now his home is the Hill.
He walks out to the busses around 7:28
And yells to the students, “Go make this day GREAT!”
Turned and looked at his kingdom he was finally there
To help kids with their grades as well as those in despair.
