Ms. Maria Garcia-Jimenez started her adventure in the Moreland School District as an instructional aide in 2009. She worked with kindergarten and SDC preschool students for six years before she moved to Latimer School in 2016. One thing that she loves as a community liaison is: “As our community keeps growing, I love to help our new families become familiar with and be part of our beautiful Moreland Community. It is amazing to watch how our students who joined our District without any English become fluent in English and adapt to their daily routine at school so quickly.”

La Sra. Maria Garcia-Jimenez comenzó su aventura en el Distrito de Moreland como ayudante de maestra en el año 2009. Trabajó con estudiantes de Kinder y estudiantes de Educación Especial de Preescolar por seis años antes de unirse a Latimer en 2016. Algo que me gusta como Enlace con la Comunidad es: “Es maravilloso ver cómo nuestros estudiantes que llegan a Latimer con poco o nada de inglés se adaptan rápidamente a su nueva rutina; también es gratificante ver cómo las familias hispanohablantes se unen a nuestra maravillosa comunidad de Moreland.”
