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 13 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 fourth 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 9 (a 4th grader at St. John Bosco). However, little Olivia Michelle will be here in a matter of days, and I am more proud of being an aunt for the first time than anything else.

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