A longtime member of the SMS community, Ms. Sanchez is thoughtful and caring, spending much time engaging her students in current events and creating a love of social studies.
Ms. Sanchez is so successful with her students because she builds relationships with them based on trust and mutual respect. As one parent notes, “She frequently challenges the students to learn, be engaged in current events, and grow as individuals. She not only teaches them social studies and all historically important information, but she also teaches them life skills, how to work with each other, and practical life lessons. She teaches them money management, responsibility, etiquette, oral advocacy, and many other things they won't learn in any other class. She also leads them spiritually and is an excellent role model for the students.”
Ms. Sanchez goes above and beyond to make learning interesting and fun for students. One parent explains, “I have had 3 kids go to St Monica and each has consistently selected her as their favorite teacher. Whether it is current events, whether it is money management and fiscal responsibility, Mrs. Sanchez tries to bestow upon the children considerations and approaches to solve real-world problems and practical problems they are likely to encounter.”
We honor Ms. Sanchez for going above and beyond for our children. Teachers like Ms. Sanchez ignite a love for lifelong learning. Ms. Sanchez, thank you for the impact you have made on our community and in our hearts.
