With over 30 years of education experience, we are blessed to have Mrs. Swanson back in the building since her time as a student at Bergan High School! In fact, her family has had 4 generations that graduated from Spalding, Academy of Our Lady, Bergan, or PND. Mrs. Swanson was inspired to enter education because she grew up with her cousin who had Down syndrome. Mrs. Swanson always loved visiting her cousin at school and interacting with her classmates. She knew she wanted to be a Special Education teacher. She loves starting her day with a prayer and being able to attend Mass with others here at PND. It is such a blessing to see all of the students and staff living out their faith daily. Outside of school, Mrs. Swanson enjoys working out, reading, watching her granddaughters, golfing, and spending time with her family.
