Meet Mrs. Barden
My name is Jackie Barden and I live in Sandy Hook Connecticut with my husband, Mark and children, James and Natalie. This is my 18th year teaching at Pawling Elementary School. Prior to teaching at Pawling, I taught in the Bronx for nine years! Wow, where has the time gone? Throughout the years I have taught reading, kindergarten, first, and second grade.
I love to read and cook. I also enjoy listening to all kinds of music and spending time with my family!
