About our Teacher: Ms. Sosha Gallego:
My name is Sosha Gallego and I’m so happy to be your child’s teacher this year. I am very enthusiastic about beginning my eighth year teaching, fourth year here at Cameron Park. I grew up in Los Angeles, CA, and I graduated from the University of California, Davis (Go Aggies! ) in 2001 with a B.A. in Human Development. I went on to pursue a Teacher Credential from Antioch University, Los Angeles in 2003. This spring I began my first year studying for my Master’s Degree in Literacy at The University of Carolina, Chapel Hill. I have had a busy summer spending time with my family and friends as well as hiking and rock climbing in the North Carolina mountains. I enjoy attending plays, whitewater rafting, and taking walks with my dog Reilee. I am looking forward to sharing all of these interests and more with my students this coming school year.
