Hello and welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! 

I am Mrs. Marabella. Some of you may know me as Ms. McDade but I got married in April 2022. 

 I am very excited for another year in the Great Valley School District as the Middle School's Emotional Support teacher! This is my sixth year teaching and third year teaching at GVMS. I student taught in Great Valley Middle School with Ms. Mack and Mrs. Scholz in 2017. Once I was able to experience all that the GVSD community had to offer, it was my goal to return to the district. 

I graduated from West Chester University in December 2017 with dual degrees in Middle Grades Preparation and Special Education. I taught Emotional/ Learning Support in the Pottsgrove School District after graduating from WCU. During the 2019-2020 school year, I taught Middle School Emotional Support in the Perkiomen Valley School District. I am very excited to return to my student teaching roots and the GVSD community. 

 I earned my Master's Degree in Applied Studies in Teaching and Learning at West Chester University in May 2022. I am eager to work with a wonderful community of educators, students, and families!

A few fun facts about me: I have a 14 year old Cockapoo that I got by writing a persuasive essay in middle school. I love spending my free time in North Wildwood, NJ.
