Welcome to Fifth Grade! My name is Erin McDermott, and I am so excited for this upcoming school year at St. Dorothy's!
This is my first year here at St. Dot's. Last year, I was a student teacher at Sabold Elementary School, then became a substitute teacher post graduation. I graduated from Cabrini University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary and Special Education with a Minor in Environmental Science. I am also certified in the state of Pennsylvania as an elementary and special education teacher.
I have wanted to become a teacher for as long as I can remember and my passion for teaching has driven me to seek opportunities such as volunteering with Camp Guadalupe's summer camp as a young teen, being employed as a camp counselor, tutoring, and working as a teacher in pre-school. As an educator, I strive to create a supportive classroom that allows for each child to succeed. I try my best to help my students discover their own skills and talents that will build on their confidence.
In my free time, I love to read, watch the Phillies and Eagles, and spend time with friends and family!
I look forward to taking the journey of 5th Grade with your children as they learn and grow both academically and spiritually!
