Hello there! My name is Amanda Calzada and I am a proud teacher at Lazaro Cardenas Elementary School in the City of Chicago Public Schools. Our school now serves students in grades Pre-K to 8th grade in the heart of the historic Little Village neighborhood. Our student population consists of 95% low income students and 98% of our student population is Hispanic. My current role is as the English Language Program Teacher for grades Pre-K to 8th. I have the honor of working with our English Language Learners (ELLs) to ensure they get the best bilingual education possible. With one of the largest bilingual programs in the district, I work hard to ensure our students and teachers have all the resources they need to learn and strengthen their English Language acquisition. Thank you for being part of the DonorsChoose community. Without you, none of this would be possible!
