Hi!  My name is Tiffany D'Arpa and I'm your child's 5th grade teacher for this school year!  This is my "LUCKY" 13th year teaching in the Kenilworth School District.  Graduating from Harding School myself, I am extremely honored to be teaching back in the place that taught me everything I needed to know to be the teacher and person I am today.  The classrooms you have had throughout the years I had as a kid as well.  How awesome is that!?
 
I graduated with my Master's Degree from West Virginia University with a dual certification in Elementary and Special Education.  Some things you should know about me..... I am a MOM...a boy mom and I love talking about them to my students! I have two wonderful little boys named Demetri and Vito. We also have a dog named Dozer in our family.  He is 12 years old and is a cuddly 85 pound pitbull!  Some of my hobbies include kickboxing, skiing, and cooking, but nothing compares to coming to school each day and being your teacher.  I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl, so being able to live out my dream everyday from September to June is pure happiness for me!

I know you all are still enjoying what's left of summer, but I cannot wait to see you all this September! 

Best,
Mrs. D'Arpa
