Staff Highlight - Mrs. Jennifer Vargas
What is your role at Kings Road School?
I am a Third Grade teacher at KRS.
What are your qualifications to serve in your role?
I have been teaching 3rd Grade in Madison for 11 years. I grew up in Madison, and went through the school district myself, so it is extra special to be teaching in town! I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Scranton.
What do you like about Kings Road School?
My favorite part about KRS is the wonderful community of students and parents. With that, the staff is SO FUN! I love that we create an exciting environment for students to learn through staff videos, assemblies and events!
What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is Because Of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. When I was in 3rd Grade, I remember my teacher reading it to me. It is such a special gift to pass this onto my students!
What do you like to do when you are not at Kings Road School?
When I am not working at KRS, I love to go on walks with my husband and bake new treats! In the summer we love to go down the shore!
