Science Department Teachers
Ms. Singletary
Hi! My name is Amanda Singletary and I am teaching Physical Science. I have been married 3 years and this will be my second year teaching as well. I have 12 reptiles and a tarantula, plus one cat at home. I enjoy sharing the experience of reptiles with children and adults alike as we learn a healthy respect for things in nature and in our homes when they are pets.
Ms. Zorinich
Hi! I’m an 8th Grade Physical Science teacher at River Trail Middle School. Since beginning my teaching career in 1994, I’ve had the opportunity to teach elementary and middle school science in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, California, and Georgia. I’ve been married for 29 years and am the proud parent of two children. When I’m not exploring science with my students, I enjoy spending time with my dog, caring for my ball python, and checking in on the five GloFish that help bring a little extra science and fun to my classroom!
Ms. DiMaggio
I am an alumnus of The University of North Georgia where I have a degree in biology and chemistry. Somewhere on the road of studying to become a veterinarian, working with tigers, and becoming a mother, I realized that my true passion was to teach. This is my 12th year teaching 8th grade science and my 5th year at River Trail! I live with my husband, 13 year old daughter Lorelei, 7 year old son Landon, 4 cats, 1 dog, a turtle, a hamster and several fish! I enjoy reading, crafting, and musical theatre. I also sponsor the Jr Beta Club and direct the spring musical!
Mr. Kester
I have been interested in science beginning with some of my first memories as a child. Growing up I was always curious about how things worked and what was going on in the world around me. That love of science turned into a career and has led me to my current position teaching 8th grade science here at River Trial Middle School. My teaching experience includes teaching physical science, earth science, biology, medical terminology and my current classes teaching 8th grade and high school physical science. I have taught at both the middle school and high school level and really enjoy the growth I see in my students each year. Outside of school I enjoy traveling and experiencing new locations, languages, cultures, and foods. I enjoy the outdoors including hiking, camping, snorkeling, scuba, swimming, kayaking, and biking. I love to play sports and lately have been enjoying pickleball. I look forward to each new year and getting to know the amazing students and families here at River Trail.
