When I started teaching at Crestview over 15 years ago, I fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a teacher. My background is in Early Child Development and Art; all of my permanent teaching years have been in K-2.
I'm very excited to have earned a Gifted and Talented certificate and to have developed my own visual arts program; I look forward to implementing these interests into my regular education classroom.
First grade is a very important year for children as it sets the foundation for the future. I am humbled by the responsibility of guiding your children during their learning journey and look forward to seeing the academic and social growth they will achieve this year. Sincerely, Mrs. Banakus: )
