Hello, my name is Mrs. Searock!  I have been teaching for seven years, and five of those years have been at Dodd Elementary.  I live with my husband and my dog, Frank.  Together, we love to
travel and spend time with family and friends.  My goal for this year is to establish a positive learning environment that acknowledges growth in all students.

Hi! My name is Allison Kemmerer! This is my fourth year teaching kindergarten here at Dodd. Notice the name change - I have been Miss. Anderko for many years I absolutely love kindergarten and can't wait to share the love of growing and learning with all my students. My goal is to teach each and every student how to be a lifelong learner! 

My name is Mrs. Flores.  I have been teaching in the Allentown School District for 15 years, 12 of those in Kindergarten.  I love fitness, my dogs, and spending time with my family.  I am excited for another amazing year in Kindergarten!

Hi!
My name is Monica Styles and I have been teaching at Dodd for 15 years, and have taught kindergarten for 7 of those years.  I live at home with my husband and my two children, Morgan and Matthew.  I love teaching and can’t wait to share some new, exciting books with my students.  My goal for this year is to celebrate growth and instill the love of learning to each and every student.

Welcome to Kindergarten! I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2019 and this is my second year at Dodd. I have two cats, Lucy and Gracie, that are the funniest cats I've ever met. My goal for this year is to help all children learn and grow, not only as students but people as well. I can't wait to get to know this new group of students and share this school year with them! -- Miss. Johnson

I am very excited to begin my 22st year in the Allentown School District as a BULLDOG at Dodd Elementary School!  I began my teaching career in 2002 and have served the Allentown Community through various educational roles in many different buildings:  Classroom Teacher, Acting Assistant Principal, Special Education Facilitator, Intervention Specialist, and Kindergarten Teacher.  At home, my 3 children and my dog, Brody, keep me very busy and I am just starting to find the joy in running during my free time!  I also love to travel and spend time with the people that mean the most to me!
