Mrs. Dembeck

Hello!  My name is Andrea Dembeck.  I am a Danville native and SJS alumni.  SJS holds a special place in my heart, as I have so many fond memories of my elementary school days.  I graduated from St. Bonaventure University with a BS in Elementary Education and Johns Hopkins University with a MS in Reading.  This will be my 14th year teaching.  I taught for 10 years in Maryland public schools and for a brief time at a charter school in Syracuse, NY.  I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.  

My husband and I have been married for 15 years and I am a mom to 4 little ones.  I took 8 years off from teaching so I could stay home and care for them.   This is my third year back teaching and I couldn’t be happier teaching kindergarten at SJS.  

I love spending as much time as I can outdoors with my husband and kids.  I also enjoy cooking, baking, and gardening.

I believe all children should grow and learn in a positive learning environment, where relationships are built on trust, joy, kindness, and respect.  I want my students to become curious learners and creative thinkers through play and active classroom involvement.
