My name is Darla Salerno and this is my 17th year as an educator. I am currently a 3rd grade teacher. My passion is teaching children to read. I have two Master's degrees, one in Education with a focus on Critical Thinking and the other in Educational Leadership. In my spare time, I enjoy watching HGTV and being a fan of my two nephews in the many sports they play. I am an animal lover, as I have two dogs and a cat.
