We are so excited to welcome Yesica Trujillo to our Spanish Immersion team as our 4th grade co teacher next year😍

Hello! My name is Yesica Trujillo, and I am from Colombia 🇨🇴. I am excited and honored to join Elmhurst Elementary School as an international teacher through Participate Learning.

I have nine years of teaching experience and a passion for creating interactive and meaningful learning experiences for children. I previously worked in a bilingual school teaching preschool and elementary students, and I truly enjoy helping students learn, grow, and feel confident in the classroom.
I look forward to contributing positively to the school community, building strong relationships with students, families, and staff, and working together as a team to support student success. I am also excited to share my culture and language while learning from the Elmhurst community.

My daughter and I are very grateful for this opportunity, and we cannot wait to become part of the Elmhurst family!
