Please Welcome Elsa Cardenas
(Replacing Ms. Moreno)
Greetings! My name is Ms. Elsa, I have a bachelor’s degree in education with an emphasis in biology, a minor in chemistry, and a master’s degree in environmental science from CU Boulder. I have been teaching for over 30 years.
I am originally from Venezuela, South America. I have a wonderful husband, two amazing sons, two incredible daughters-in-law, the most beautiful and smart twin granddaughters, and a handsome 4-year-old grandson. I love to spend time with my family, being outdoors and traveling.
I am happy to be able to substitute until the end of this school year for Ms. Moreno and to help my students deepen their knowledge and skills in the Spanish language.
This Tuesday I will be available from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. to attend to you; I would love to meet you personally.
Sincerely,
Elsa Cardenas

Please Welcome Helen Parra
(5th Grade Spanish)
My name is Helen Catalina Parra and I am originally from Costa Rica. I have lived in the United States for 21 years!!
My educational experience includes five years of medical school at the International University of the Americas (Costa Rica) where I obtained a Bachelor of Medicine.
After moving to the United States the majority of my work experience has been working with children in different educational areas.
I feel extremely honored and grateful to have been given the opportunity to teach GVA 5th grade students the beautiful, and rich Spanish language. I look forward to contributing to the academic and intellectual growth of each child and celebrating their accomplishments as they master a second language.
I am here to serve both the students and parents of the 5th-grade Spanish Immersion class. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. I feel blessed to be a part of this incredible language school and am looking forward to working with your students!
