Ms. Cali Durning
Welcome back to school, DYNAMIC DOLPHINS!
My name is Cali Durning and this will be my third year teaching at SSE. I am orginally from Maryland, but relocated to Pittsburgh, PA. There, I received my degree in Early Childhood and Special Education from Robert Morris University. In July of 2016, I moved to NC to begin my teaching career. I am a HUGE Ice Hockey fan! I love watching the Pittsburgh Penguins. When I lived in Pittsburgh, I went to games all of the time! I love watching movies and spending time with family, friends, and my sweet pup; Lila. She is one spoiled girl! This year I will be working with grades 1-3, with an emphasis in English Language Arts, as well as Mathematics. I am looking forward to another fantastic school year!
