At the beginning of each school year we ask the faculty and staff to fill out a fun questionnaire about themselves. Each week we choose someone to feature, and we share their questionnaire so that everyone can learn more about our awesome MSPCS faculty. This week we are featuring our fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Fernandez. Learn more about her below, and visit her class webpage here.
