Mrs. Rzepa's 3rd Grade Class 

I am so excited for my second year at Harvey!  This will be my 16th year teaching in Manatee County where I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.  I have lived in Bradenton and Sarasota since I was in 3rd grade and attended Braden River Middle School and Lakewood Ranch High School.  I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of South Florida with my degree in Elementary Education. When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my husband Matthew, an accountant, my two sons Declan and Asher, and our goldendoodle Cloud.  

​

My goal is to cultivate an appreciation for learning by creating a positive and engaging environment.  I plan on building a classroom community where students learn and grow together.  I am passionate about teaching and am constantly looking for ways to increase student engagement, further student learning, and establish an environment that leads to success.  I am excited for this school year and getting to know each of my students!
