My name is Mrs. Dawn Jauch and I am beginning my 22nd year teaching at Lakehurst Elementary School.  I graduated from Kean University and I am dually certified to teach general education students from K-5 as well as student's with special needs from preschool through high school.

My philosophy in life is Live, Love and Laugh. Be Silly. Be Kind. Be Honest.  It is my greatest hope that my students can experience all these things and more throughout their school day.

On a personal front, I am a mom of two wonderful teenage boys.  My eldest is pursuing his education in Culinary Arts 👨🏼‍🍳 and my youngest is attending Stockton University this year as a Fine Arts student- majoring in photography📸. This summer, my husband, my sons and I enjoyed spending time together at the beach 🏖️, though I am a little jealous of their tans. :)

Parents please know how much I appreciate all that you do to foster a positive home/school connections.  Together we can help guide and navigate our students through these learning adventures.
