Mrs. Morrow's Educational Background:

I have 3 Pennsylvania teaching certifications:

   *This is my 20th year of teaching in Shaler Area School District at Scott Primary/Rogers Primary!  I am a certified Reading Specialist. I previously taught Kindergarten for 8 years and was a Reading Specialist for years before that. I have now been teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) for 8 years. I love teaching children how to read and write and help them feel confident about themselves as a learner! My goals each year are to teach the children to be able to read, write, and speak in English and to guide them to be kind, caring, and respectful to others and animals. I look forward to getting to know my students and families each year and working as a team to help them experience success! It's my goal for your child to love school and love reading!
Reading is so much fun!
