Hi! My name is Mrs.Szwast and I have been teaching at Pauba Valley Elementary School for 14 years. I spent 10 years teaching Kindergarten and I am currently teaching my 5th year of Transitional Kindergarten. I was honored to be one of the two teachers to help create the TK program for our school district. I love teaching the younger grades because I know how important the first 5 years are in a child's life. Setting the stage for their academic career is a job I love!

When I'm not at school I love spending time with my family. I have been married to my husband Randy for almost 12 years. We have two kids, Kaitlyn (6) and Reid(4).
