Meet Our First Grade Teachers!
Mrs. Valerie Snedegar...
Ms. Laurie Tomcanin
Hello! My name is Laurie Tomcanin and I am very excited to teach first grade this year. This is my 21st year teaching. My first 20 years were spent teaching kindergarten at Abingdon Elementary. I love being a teacher because there is no better feeling than when a student “gets it” and I take tremendous pride in laying a strong foundation in the early grades.
I live in Stewartstown, Pa with my husband Rob, our twin seven-year- olds James and Jack, and a leopard gecko named Sticky Star. I also have an eighteen-year-old stepson named Jeremiah who is a senior in high school. When I am not teaching, you can usually find me cheering for my boys at sporting events, working in my garden, or sitting on my front porch with a good book. I am so excited for the upcoming school year and so proud to be a Norrisville Jaguar!
