Ms. Robins, 3rd & 4th; STEM Co-Teacher 5th-8th

Hello, My name is Adela Robins, and I will be this year's 3rd and 4th grade teacher! This is my second year at St. Bridget of Sweden and I am beyond excited to be here!

Before coming to St. Bridget of Sweden I have had plenty of experience with multi-age classrooms along with traditional one-grade classes. I have worked in a Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th/6th grade classroom. I have also taught 1st grade online. Teaching online allowed me to become creative with fun and engaging lessons to help my students and their families during distance learning.

A little bit about me, I received my Bachelors in Educational Studies and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from the University of La Verne. I am currently finishing my Masters and I am set to graduate in the spring of 2021. In my free time I love to cook, practice yoga, and take my dogs to the dog park.

I am so excited to share my enthusiasm for teaching with my future students! I look forward to a fun and productive school year online and hopefully in person.

Mr. Hernandez, 5th & 6th Homeroom, Math 5th-8th, P.E. TK-8th

Greetings St. Bridget Families,

My name is Joseph Hernandez and I am very excited to be part of the academic team here at St. Bridget of Sweden School. I have over 20 years of experience working in various elementary school environments, with the past 9 years teaching at another local catholic school. I currently possess a Bachelor of Science degree from California State University Northridge, am a Google Certified Educator Level 1 and Certified Apple Teacher for iPads and Macs. My philosophy as an educator is that every child is unique and capable of learning. I firmly believe learning is a process, and part of that process includes successes and mistakes. I use positive reinforcement as my main classroom management strategy while acknowledging the need for consequences in certain circumstances. Lastly, as a product of catholic education and parent, I value, understand and accept the responsibility of educating your children in their faith and academics. I am excited to have the opportunity to teach your child and look forward to meeting and working with you.

Mrs. Carrillo, 7th & 8th Homeroom, ELA 5th-8th, S.S. 5th-8th

Hi, my name is Mrs. Anya Carrillo and I am the Junior High Teacher and 5th-8th ELA and S.S. teacher! This is my 10th year teaching in a Catholic environment and my third year here at St. Bridget of Sweden School. I believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. I have a vision of a world where people learn to respect, accept, and embrace the differences between us, as the core of what makes life so fascinating.
