There are many different specialists at Bucknell Elementary School. They work in unison with the classroom teachers to help provide a comprehensive and unique learning environment for all students.
Ms. Lisa Maupins, Ms. Amy Balas, and Ms. Doris Powell help to insure that our students receive the individual attention they need. Their smiling faces and warm hugs, brighten the faces of even the most frustrated student.
Ms. Laura Adler and Ms. Tammy Dennison work hard to ensure each child receives exciting and innovative math instruction. Together with the classroom teachers, they plan lessons, which inspire Bucknell students to think and decipher problems on their own.
