Ms. Gartner's Science Classes 

About me

I have been teaching since 1996 and have been at Jenkintown School District since 1998.  Prior to that I worked as an Environmental Chemist.  I have a BS in Chemistry, an MBA in Business Management, and Certification in Secondary Science from Saint Joseph’s University.  I also have an MS in Educational Leadership from Arcadia University.  I attended a Vo-tech high school and majored in animal science which forever influenced my view of education. Their motto was “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn”, and I believe hands-on education is the only way to truly learn.  I am certified in Chemistry, General Science, Physics, Environmental Education, and Principal.  My personal interests include science (of course!), tinkering with crafts, love of nature and the outdoors, reading, and animals.
