Hello Barcroft Families! I am originally from Salem, Massachusetts, but have lived in the Washington, D.C. area since 1988. I have had the honor of teaching 3rd, 4th and 5th graders at Barcroft over the last twenty years. When I’m not at school, I enjoy hiking, reading and spending time with my husband and three sons. |

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Aspacio. I am originally from a small town outside of Atlanta, Georgia. My husband and I moved to Arlington three years ago. This will be my fourth year at Barcroft and my twentieth year of teaching. I love animals, but especially dogs! Outside of work, I love hanging out at home with my husband and our two dogs. I also enjoy traveling on occasion. |

Janet Dorn |
Hello! My name is Janet Dorn and I am originally from St. Paul, Minnesota. I love teaching English as a Second Language to my Barcroft students. I was a second language learner and the first person in my family to go to college. When I’m not at school, I like to spend time exploring new places and new foods with my friends and family. |

Loren Valcourt |
My name is Loren Valcourt. This year I will be serving as a co-teacher in the third grade. I am originally from the island of Jamaica. I am a career “switcher”. I was at first a para-legal with the IRS. I began my teaching career in New York City Public Schools. When my husband changed careers too, we moved here to Northern Virginia. It has been my pleasure to work with students of various abilities and learning styles for 15 years. I love gardening, but when it’s too cold to play outside, I crochet. |
