\u201cI feel really welcomed and I am excited to be here!\u201d said Carmona-Alday. \u201cI love being in the classrooms and at the lunches because it gives me the chance to get to know the students better.\u201d<\/p>\n

She admitted that she always loved dancing, and for many years, she thought that she would become a full-time dance teacher.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter I earned my administrative degree, I found out that Pueblo didn’t have a dance teacher for a while, and I was hoping to become long-term substitute teacher\u2014but I couldn’t because all of the work I was involved with as an administrator,\u201d Carmona-Alday said.<\/p>\n
Her husband is a teacher at Sunnyside High School, and they have two children, ages three and five.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought I would love Pueblo so much,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope to be here for a long period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
She admitted that she is very ambitious and that her goal is to one day become a principal. Her goal for now is to inspire Pueblo students to help make a positive impact at the school and in the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cPueblo is going to be what our students make of it, and I hope that our students don\u2019t ever give up on Pueblo,\u201d said Carmona-Alday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
