During my last couple of years of high school, I understood the importance of receiving a university education. With some of my hobbies being drawing, painting, and sewing, my first college degree is in Fashion Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later on, as a young mother of two boys, I started to work as an instructional assistant at different elementary schools. This is when I discovered how much I enjoyed teaching. I enrolled at Eastern Oregon University and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in English as a Second Language (ESOL) and a Middle Grades Mathematics endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been in the education field for about 18 years; I have been an IA, taught Spanish, and middle school bilingual mathematics. I have also served my community by sharing my catholic faith at Blessed Sacrament for about 17 years as a Confirmation Catechist, lector, and Eucharistic Minister. Additionally, I have served at Snake River Correctional Institution as a religious volunteer since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love sharing my faith, as well as instilling the value of higher education in young people. As Headteacher and Spanish teacher, I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to share my faith, language, and traditions with our children at SPCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favorite Bible verse is from Philippians 4:13,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em> \u201cI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head Teacher\/4th-6th Grade Teacher I was born in Mexico, and at the age of 11, I immigrated with my family &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3385","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","latest_post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3385"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3606,"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3385\/revisions\/3606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stpetercatholicschool.com\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
