Welcome

Welcome to my teacher page! 

GRADE: 1st

Hello! My name is Erika Dowden and this will be my second year teaching at Punxsutawney Area Elementary School. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood and Special Education. My previous teaching experiences have been in both general education and special education classrooms.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two golden retrievers, going camping, and traveling to and exploring new places! Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I am very honored to teach in Punxsutawney! The best way to contact me is through TalkingPoints but you can also email me at any time with any questions/concerns! I am looking forward to an exciting 25-26 school year!
