Ms. DelaCruz is a phenomenal educator and community leader at Gallardo. She is passionate about her students and her classroom and is an advocate for their academic development. She creates a classroom environment that has a welcoming culture where students support each other and embrace a philosophy of care for each other. She is also a member of our PTO and has done an outstanding job embracing a culture that involves families and community with Gallardo.

She is part of our community and family engagement (CAFE) committee where she assists with organizing community events such as our Bingo Night, Veterans ceremony, and many more. Lastly, she always thinks about what we can do as a campus to positively support and honor our campus staff, district personnel, and partners for their continued efforts in supporting students. Thank you Ms. DelaCruz for being a strong and passionate member of our Gallardo community and campus. We appreciate you and all you do! Congratulations!
Steven Martinez exhibits a positive outlook and attitude in the classroom. Every day Steven works hard in the classroom, eager to learn more each day. When we learn a new strategy in the classroom, he makes sure to apply what he’s learned. Steven is also known to enjoy helping his classmates when they are struggling with a new concept. One of Steven’s wonderful accomplishments has been his success with the AR reading program. He has frequently had the most AR points in the classroom, and has even had the most points in the entire 3rd grade here at Gallardo. Keep up the hard work Steven, we are proud of you!
