Mrs. Sapienza

Dawneen Sapienza

This is my 23rd year teaching and 21st year in the Etiwanda School District. I truly enjoy being a Middle School teacher. If you see me running the streets of Etiwanda, hanging out on the soccer fields with my husband and kids, and/or at a local store, please say Hello. Part of being a teacher is getting to see what you enjoy in your time off campus, too. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors at the beach, water sports at the river, snow skiing or snowboarding, and/or just chilling as we watch a good movie or play in our pool. I'm looking forward to a great year of acclimating to 6th grade and Middle School.
