About the teachers:

Mrs. Gastelum:
   
 I am starting my 23rd year at St. Hedwig and still love it, like it was 
my first. I have been teaching in the Diocese for 32 years. I have been 
married to my loving husband, David for 34years and have a son,Michael
(29yrs). 
    My husband and I love short get-aways.  This past year we traveled to the 
Cowboy Towns in Arizona -Tucson and Tombstone.  During the summer we ventured 
up north to Monterey and worked our way down Hwy 1 through Big Sur, Pismo 
Beach and Santa Barbara. We love the ocean and my husband loves the photo 
opportunities. 
   My loves outside my classroom are our dogs,Toby and Jordyn(bassett), 
scrapbooking and doing projects around the house I grew-up in. I have also 
taught 3rd and 5th grades at other schools. 
   I love teaching First graders because it is so wonderful to see them 
grow so much in a short amount of time. Everyone learns at a different pace 
so it is something we get to see daily.  
   Looking forward to a wonderful year !
