A little about me...
Mrs. G
Teaching Background:
My name is Betsy Gensemer and I would like to welcome everyone to another exciting school year at SJA.
I have been teaching at SJA for the past 16 years. Previous to SJA I taught both 3rd & 5th grades at Catholic Schools in both Harrisburg and Reading, Pennsylvania.
I am a graduate of Millersville University with a teaching degree in Secondary Education Social Studies. I received my Elementary Education Certification from Alvernia College. I also hold a Pennsylvania Instructional II License and my Advanced Religious Certification from The Diocese of Allentown and Harrisburg. 



Personal Background:
I have been married to my best friend, Stephen for the past twenty nine years. We have two wonderful daughters , Allison and Sara. We moved to Hershey seventeen years ago and are members of St. Joan of Arc Parish.

Personal Interests: 
I love to read, walk my dog, listen to music and spend time with my family. I love sports and frequently cheer on both the local and professional teams. Being originally from Philadelphia, I am a huge fan of the Philadelphia Eagles!
