I'm so excited to meet the new 2nd Graders!
Hello! My name is Mrs. Sara Ghafari and I will be your child’s teacher. I graduated class of 2004 from St. Joseph High School in Lakewood, CA. I earned my A.A. from Holy Cross College in Notre Dame, IN. I earned my B.A. Degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities from the University of San Diego and M.A. in Elementary Education and Teaching Credential
from Loyola Marymount University in 2012.
I previously taught for 5 years at St. Philip Neri School in Lynwood, CA and 6 years at St. Cornelius School in Long Beach, CA. I've taught 4th/5th combination class for 2 years and 13 years in 2nd grade. This will be my 15th year teaching in Catholic Schools and I wouldn't have it any other way! Some of the extra curricular activities I was involved in: Athletic Director, Softball Coach, Yearbook Committee, Academic Decathlon Co-Moderator & Student Council Moderator & STAR Coordinator.
In 2nd grade, I encourage students to be independent self-motivated workers, to make responsible choices reflecting our faith, and to grow into a life-long learner. I will be preparing your child for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. This is a special journey that not only involves your child, but also the entire family. I am excited about working with your child and family this school year. Together we can make your child’s school year a successful and memorable learning experience.
Blessings,
Mrs. Ghafari
