Second Grade

- Ms. Brazil
  
  My name is Ms. Brazil and this is my 3rd year teaching. I am a Bay Area native, but I earned my BA from Marymount Manhattan College, graduating first in my department. I am currently working towards my Masters in Teaching Education from San Diego State University.
  
  I am so incredibly excited to be teaching second grade again this year at Saint Patrick School. I feel that God has called me to be an educator, and I pray everyday to be the best I possibly can be for your wonderful students! I love being a part of this community where we are blessed with amazing students, parents, teachers, and leaders. Here is to another wonderful school year!
