Introduction	I was born and raised here in Santa Cruz and I've taught in the Pajaro District for 20 years. Teaching is one of my passions in life and I feel privileged to work at such an amazing school as Rio del Mar. With such committed and supportive parents, gifted AND kind students, and a top notch staff, it is no wonder that Rio is a Gold Ribbon AND a CA Distinguished School. At Rio open minds and kind hearts rule! "When schools flourish, all flourishes." Martin Luther
