Hi! My name is Dana Scarborough and I am a proud member of the Bellmawr Learning Community. I am a graduate of Rutgers University and I have been teaching since 2006. I am a proud resident of Bellmawr, where I live with my family. I enjoy reading, cooking and shopping!
I am so excited to be teaching First Grade! We will be reading, learning, and exploring together. First Grade is so much fun!
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
--- Benjamin Franklin
