Mrs. Geneva Spade – Spring Farms 2nd Grade
Meet the Teacher
I was born and raised in Crystal Spring, PA, and graduated high school from Southern Fulton. My husband and I live in Crystal Spring, with our two dogs Cash and Mouse. In my free time, I love to read books and spend time with my dogs. In the summertime, I love to go out on the boat or kayaks and go to amusement parks!
I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Reading at Shippensburg University and recently finished my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been teaching at Spring Farms since 2021 (previously fourth grade, now second grade)!
