I am so excited for this fourth grade year and for all that is in store for your child! My name is Michelle Mandola and I am originally from Houston, TX. I have been living in Phoenix for about 14 years. I went through middle school in the Kyrene School District, and went on to Mountain Pointe High School.

After high school, I graduated from Arizona State University in the spring of 2005, Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.

I did my student teaching in the fourth grade at Cerritos, and am now in my fifth year as a fourth grade teacher here at Cerritos Elementary. 

Besides teaching at Cerritos, I am the 7th grade girls volleyball coach at Altadena. I enjoy coaching as much as I enjoy playing the sport.

My favorite thing to do is snuggle up with a good book to read and I hope to instill that love of reading into your children throughout the year. I am an avid movie watcher and I love to take road trips.

I am normally most proud of talking about my two sisters, Lauren (I will keep her age to myself so my OLDER sister doesn't get mad) and Mackenzie who is 10 (a 5th grader at St. John Bosco). However, last September, little Olivia Michelle was born to my sister and brother in law, and I am so proud of being an aunt for the first time.

I look forward to getting to know you all and having a wonderful year!
