I am so pleased to welcome you to our class for the 2017-2018 school year. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Bennett, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in Math from Grand Canyon University. I am a native to Arizona and have always lived in the East Valley. However, I found my home within Great Hearts and excitedly took the opportunity to begin teaching in the West Valley at Archway Trivium East during its founding years. Teaching is my passion. I am thankful to have a job that allows me to help form young hearts and minds each day. There truly is no greater joy. The teaching assistant in our classroom is Ms. Ramirez. She is very excited to start the new school year in our classroom after spending one year in our after school program, Athenaeum. In her free time, she enjoys reading and photography. She is gaining a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education at Estrella Mountain Community College. She discovered her love of teaching through Great Hearts because of the commitment to pursue Truth, Goodness and Beauty together each day. She looks forward to all of the student achievements she will witness and be a part of this year. As we prepare for the Meet the Teacher event on Thursday, August 3rd, from 3:00-6:00PM, we want to let you know what to expect.
If you have questions, the Archway Trivium | East main phone number is (623) 866-4718, or check out our website at http://archwaytriviumeast.greatheartsacademies.org to find out about all of our upcoming events, see the school calendar, and soon find my classroom blog.
