TRISH DIMICK, M.ED. LEAD TEACHER
As an educator turned stay-at-home mom, I am excited to be back in the classroom as a teacher at Auburn Day School. I have 15 years of experience teaching and working with children from preschool to 9th grade in various settings. I earned my B.S. in Geology from Lafayette College (Easton, PA) and my Masters in Secondary Education from Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA). My passion for teaching and science naturally led me to the classroom, where I taught 9th grade Earth and Space science before moving to Auburn in 2010. My husband, Paul, and I have four active children and two dogs. We are members of First Presbyterian Church in Auburn where I enjoy working with the younger children as a Sunday school teacher, VBS teacher, and Godly Play leader. I am looking forward to learning and exploring with the students at Auburn Day School.

SARAH JENKINS, M.ED.
Substitute TEACHER I am thrilled to be teaching at Auburn Day School. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and my Masters in Elementary Education at Georgetown College in 1989 and 1990. I taught elementary school early on, but found my love for teaching preschool when my children were little and we were living in Texas. For the past six years, I’ve been an owner, hostess, cook and cleaner at a bed and breakfast in Auburn. My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 30 years this December and we have three children; Katie- first grade teacher in Opelika, Millie- set designer in LA, and Jake- junior at AU. We also have the cutest 3 year old schnauzer, Tucker. I enjoy cooking, crafting, baking, and am learning how to play the ukulele. |
