Dear OLG Families, 


It is with great pleasure that I write to you today, to share the news of our newest hire, Mr. Niko Serpanos! Mr. Serpanos will be joining the middle school team, as 6th grade homeroom and middle school science teacher. Check out his bio below, as he shares his joy in his own words.


Hi my name is Niko Serpanos and I am super excited to join Our Lady of Guadalupe this year!


I studied education at the University of Washington Bothell, where I was elected the first ever representative of the Chancellor's advisory committee for the school of education. During my studies I earned a scholarship position as study abroad ambassador which brought me to Varanasi, India to teach curriculum design.


When I am not in the classroom teaching, you can find me often traveling to new locations, playing video games with friends, going to the movies, and spending time with my family. I have an orange tabby who is 13 and his name is FrappĂ©. Aside from being a huge fan of science and technology my educational philosophy is marked by a hands-on, inquiry-driven, and project-oriented approach.


My goal as a teacher is to make science a topic of exploration and critical thinking that excites our learners each day. Last year as a science teacher, I had the opportunity to be a homeroom teacher for 7/8th grade at the Academy for Precision Learning. It was one of my favorite classes, and so this year I look forward to being a 6th grade Homeroom teacher and meeting the amazing community here at OLG!


From,

Mr. Serpanos


Please say hello to Mr. Serpanos and the rest of our teachers tomorrow at the Ice Cream Social at 5:30pm.


In other hiring news, we are looking for one more EDC person! If you know of anyone interested in working at EDC, as an employee or as an active volunteer, please let me know directly.


I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, and on Sunday at the Campus Beautification Work Party if you can make it!



Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!


With Gratitude, 


Ms. Lauren Hobbs
