Karen Reitz » Schick Staff Directory

Welcome! While this is my eleventh year teaching first grade at Schick Elementary, I have been teaching elementary age students for 23 years. Prior to Loyalsock, I had the pleasure of teaching second grade in the East Lycoming School District and the Pocono Mountain School District. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Bloomsburg University and a master’s degree in education from East Stroudsburg University. My family and I also have lived in Loyalsock for the past 18 years. It is truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with children every day! I look forward to greeting the many new faces to my classroom this year and working the families of previous students! Best wishes for a fantastic 2015-2016 school year!
