Sixth Grade
-
My name is Jennifer Calgaro, and this is my fifth year as a teacher for the Diocese of San Bernardino. I have always felt teaching is my calling, and I feel very blessed to be teaching in a Catholic school. I attended Catholic elementary school, and everything I learned in its God-filled environment has stuck with me. I was an altar server for 13 years, and I enjoy proclaiming the Word of God at Mass. I pray I can bring the joy and love of God to every student I teach.
I teach the following subjects: 6th grade language arts and science, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade social studies. I am also the coordinator for Student Council.

They should be wearing masks at all times inside and when within six feet of each other outside. Hand sanitizing is necessary whenever entering or leaving a classroom. Hands should be washed regularly for at least 20 seconds. Let's all do our best to keep each other safe.
