“Just keep swimming.” ~ Dory, Finding Nemo

Her favorite Book is Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. And when asked her favorite movie she said, “Truth be told, I am not much of a movie watcher, however, I do love watching all the Disney / Pixar movies with my children.”

“We are very excited to welcome Jen Bellen to our administrative team,” said Superintendent Brian Dunn. “She is a very talented and experienced leader. We have the highest expectation that she will continue our legacy of strong, student-centered pupil services in Middleburgh.”
