Ms. Jennifer Tafel
Classroom #1
Hello Dutch Fork families and friends! My name is Ms. Tafel! I grew up in Columbia, South Carolina and attended Coastal Carolina University! This is my 3rd year as part of the Dutch Fork family but my 21st year teaching!
I love the mountains and spending time with my husband and sweet three year old daughter!
“Too often, we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring. All of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia
