 My name is Ms. Rupertus. I have been teaching for 16 years but have worked with children since the age of 15. I graduated from Neumann University in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6. I began my teaching career as a kindergarten teacher. After 2 years, I decided to make a jump and teach 7th grade. This is my 2nd year teaching 5th grade at DNA.  I have never felt more of a sense of belonging than I do here at DNA. It is truly a second family to me. I have 2 beautiful daughters, one is a 16 year old Junior at Chichester High School. My other one is 5 years old and started kindergarten this year.. I love spending time with my girls at the beach or watching them play either volleyball, soccer, or baseball. I am a huge Philly sports fan. I absolutely love baseball and football.
