Meet Mrs. DiGiacinto
Mrs. DiGiacinto is a mom to two sweet and adventurous little ones. Her son is seven years old and attends first grade. Her daughter is four and full of personality. Together her family enjoys making crafts, going skiing, and visiting playgrounds all over the Lehigh Valley. Her favorite memory was a summer beach trip with family to Island Beach State Park! When Mrs. DiGiacinto isn't in the classroom or spending time with her children, she enjoys CrossFit and weightlifting.
Mrs. DiGiacinto obtained her Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Shippensburg University in 2013 before earning her Pennsylvania Instructional Teaching Certification to teach preschool through fourth grade curricula. She then continued her education through Lehigh University majoring in Instructional Technology.
She has been teaching kindergarten and first grade since 2013. Mrs. DiGiacinto started at Lincoln Elementary in 2023.
