Welcome to 1st grade with Mrs.Gargano! I began my career in the Arlington School District many years ago as a teaching assistant. I am so happy to be teaching 1st grade and absolutely love being able to share my enthusiasm for education with my students. I recently received my masters in education from Mount Saint Mary with a concentration in literacy and special education. I also attended Westchester Community College and Manhattanville College, where I graduated with an associates and bachelors degree in social sciences and childhood education. Outside of school I enjoy reading, hiking, spending time with my family and dogs, Disney World, and McKinney & Doyles.
