NOTRE DAME SCHOOL

My name is Cindy Schoonmaker and I have been a part of this great school for over 10 years, first as a parent, then as an instructional aide, and now as the first grade teacher.  I graduated with honors from Grand Canyon University, where I minored in English and earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.

I believe every student has the ability to learn and my job as a teacher is to nurture the spiritual, social, emotional and academic well-being of every student. Instruction is cross-curricular and differentiated in order to meet the needs of all students. Together we will make this a happy, productive, and successful year!
