Hello, my name is Elizabeth Reyes and I am the Kindergarten Teacher at St. Martin of Tours. This is my ninth-year teaching here. Previously I taught in another Catholic School. Over the years, I have taught children in Kindergarten, Second, Third, and Fourth grade.
I absolutely love to teach and I feel so blessed to be able to help my students learn and grow. This year, we are going to have a wonderful time making new friends, learning lots of new things, and growing in God’s love.
