My name is Lauren Opalanko and this is my fourth year as the Title I Reading teacher at Hopewell Elementary. It is my goal to provide my students with interesting and meaningful learning experiences as they grow into fluent readers. I look forward to sharing my love of reading with your child(ren) this year!

Educational Background

In 2009, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Reading from Wittenberg University in Ohio. I then graduated with a master’s degree and Reading Specialist certification from Duquesne University in 2010. Over the last few years, I worked as a Kindergarten and First Grade teacher in the South Fayette School District.
