About the teachers:

Mrs. Gastelum:
   
 I am starting my 24rd year at St. Hedwig and still love it, like it was 
my first. I have been teaching in the Diocese for 35 years. I have been 
married to my loving husband, David for 36years and have a son,Michael.
 Our son,Michael is in the Army Reserves. He came home in July after being  
in Iraq for a year. We will be having a wonderful and simple wedding Michael 
and Claudia in September.   
 My husband and I enjoy taking short trips.  Last year,we went to Bryce and 
the Valley of Fire. Besides my husband, my loves outside my classroom are our 
basset hounds:Toby,Jordyn,and Sara.I scrapbook and do 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 wonderful to see them 
grow so much in a short amount of time. Community is an important part of our 
St. Hedwig family. 
   All children learn differently...and we get to see the daily growth !  
   Looking forward to a wonderful year !
