About Erin Bitner

I am so excited to be the principal at Farnsworth Elementary! I love helping children grow academically and socially so they can gain confidence and direction for their future endeavors! In my free time, I like to read, play card games, travel, and do puzzles. I have degrees from Brigham Young University, the University Utah, and Utah Valley University. I taught grades 2-5 for 22 years and loved my time in the classroom! I have 3 children, 1 grandson, and a dog named Kylo (my husband is a Star Wars fan). I greatly look forward to working with you to help your child(ren) succeed!
