Welcome to Reading! My name is Dena Scrimo and this is my 31st year teaching. I have been part of the Springfield Schools for 28 of those years and it is a great place to teach and learn. I received my degree from Kent State University, my master's degree from Marygrove College and my Reading Endorsement from Kent State as well.
I am married to my husband Chris, and have two children, Olivia 22, and Katie 21. Olivia is a graduate student at Ohio University and Katie is a junior at Ohio State University. I also have a dog named Paisley and a puppy named Poppy. I enjoy reading, boating and spending time with my family and friends.
An interesting fact is that I taught kindergarten for 27 years. I may even have had your child or children over the past years. I truly love the youngest members of the Springfield family and I was sad to close that chapter of teaching, but have many fond memories. This is my third year as a Literacy Specialist and I am excited to learn and grow with your child and family this year. Cheers to the journey ahead.
