As the 2016-17 school year begins, Pueblo gives warm welcomes to the many new teachers and staff who are ready to become a part of the Warrior family.
On the list of official new teachers is Ms. Melissa Espindola, who graduated from the University of Arizona last May and is now a full-time chemistry teacher here at Pueblo.
Last year, Espindola was a student-teacher for the entire year with veteran science teacher Ms.Wilma Amaro, which was part of her master’s degree program fulfillment.
“Pueblo gave me so much, so I stayed here to give back,” said Espindola.
Already in this school year, Espindola said that she has enjoyed getting to know her students and their interests.
Espindola said that she finds chemistry interesting because she feels that, “the world should know it in a molecular level.”
She paused and added, “I am happy to be at Pueblo! Although my job is very tiring, it’s simultaneously very rewarding.”
