👧👦Welcome to 2nd Grade and School Year 2020-2021 👦👧

It's my joy to be your English Learner Specialist teacher this school year. Just like you, I was an English Learner in elementary 🙋‍♀️ school many moons🌛🌛 ago and speak English and Spanish. I was born in Puerto Rico, a beautiful United States territory with cristal blue beaches, yummy beach treats, and tropical wonders 🏖️🏝️ This is my 18th year teaching and before becoming a teacher I worked in private companies in communications, marketing, biopharm and even cable TV (A&E Network). I am a proud New Yorker loving Virginia with all its history and natural beauty. I graduated from Boston University--Go Terriers! When I am not teaching I am on the go--family time, exploring, walking, and singing! 

I love to write and am the BTES PTA Social Media Chair working closely with our wonderful parent volunteers to bring you the best school times and memories in the form of photos and posts featuring our Bison kids and parents in Facebook and Twitter @BuffaloTrailPTA  #Bisonstrong

Love,

Mrs. Mendez, M.Ed
