Mandy Rauffer

Hi there! I’m Ms. Mandy, I graduated from Monmouth University with a Dual Major in Education and Communications/Theater. Since then I have worked with children and youth for most of the 30 years since I graduated.

I live in Point Pleasant with my husband. My youngest daughter attends Penn State. My oldest daughter is married and lives in Texas where she works for Joanna and Chip Gaines at Magnolia. My son works for Bungie Games in Seattle. My husband works for Blackbird Presents and tours with people like Willie Nelson and many others. He also made his film debut this year with a live performance movie of Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday at the Hollywood Bowl. We’ve had some fun times and love the people we meet along the way!

We couldn’t be happier!

Point Beach Prep is truly a school that lives up to its reputation & beyond! We are fortunate to have our son attend the classroom with Gabbie & Miss Amanda, and we couldn't be happier! Both of his teachers are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to make their students feel safe, welcome, and supported. They are so patient & very communicative. My son loves going to school and is excited to tell me about his day. We are astonished at how much he has learned and grown already! PBP and all of its staff create a welcome environment for all of its students and families. My son looks forward to greeting Mrs. House at the door each day at drop-off, which is another testament to how wonderful school truly is. We love PBP and the foundation it's creating for our son for kindergarten and beyond.
