Hi!  My name is Carrie Lombardi and I am the Science Specialist at Barrett Elementary.  I am originally from Western Massachusetts, but have now lived in Arlington for 20 years!   I was an upper elementary grade teacher for 12 years, but took time off for seven years to stay home with my three girls. Now that they are all school aged, I too wanted to head back to school.  Luckily, I was able to come back to Barrett where I taught fifth grade for 4 years.  I have my undergraduate degree from Syracuse University and my Masters in Education from the University of Virginia.  I love to learn, and have taken numerous courses over the years to enhance my teaching practices.  I love the outdoors and am a big advocate of outdoor learning.  In my free time, I enjoy running and Orangetheory.  I also enjoy going on adventures with my husband and girls!
