About Me
Mr. Barlow, his wife, Lauren, and black lab puppy, June.Name: Mr. John BarlowSchool: Gulph Elementary SchoolPosition: Fourth Grade teacherEmail: jbarlow@umasd.org
As summer inches toward fall, change is in the air for both students and teachers. Cooler nights and comfortable days will eventually accompany the transition from August to September. My wife is never thrilled about the arrival of these cooler temperatures but my long distance running welcomes the change. This year also marks my sixth year at Gulph Elementary after spending the previous 6 years at Roberts.Most years, my wife and I hit the road during the summer and travel around the country and world. We have been to Vietnam, Ireland and to nearly 20 national parks. My brother lives in the mountains of Virginia and my parents live in the Outer Banks so we spend a lot of time experiencing other places. As runners and hikers, my wife and I adore being outside and on the go. This summer, we visited North Carolina and Virginia to spend time with family. Rather than travel beyond, we spent our days training our new black lab puppy, June. She's learned a lot and provides us with so much love on a daily basis.I'm really excited to begin this learning journey with your child! More details will follow in the coming days about your upcoming school year.
