Mrs. Sarah Dininny » Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Hello!  My name is Sarah Dininny, and I am a 3rd grade teacher at Richland Elementary. I am so proud to be teaching at my alma mater! I graduated from Richland in 2008.  I went to Pitt-Johnstown and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 2012.  I earned my Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Clarion University in 2017. This will be my 14th year of my teaching career.  I absolutely love my job and my students!

 

I am SO excited to get to know your child this school year!  We will have a lot of fun in 3rd grade. I know you will be amazed at the academic, social, and personal growth you will see in your child!  I believe that children learn best in a classroom community that is nurturing, warm, and inviting, and I always want my students to feel safe and happy in their educational environment.  I strive to make every child feel special and supported.  I know we will have a wonderful year! :)

 

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns.  Thank you!  #RamPride
