¡Bienvenidos! I'm Beatriz Pastor, your Spanish teacher, and I’m absolutely thrilled to embark on this journey with you! I was born in La Paz, Bolivia, and moved to the United States during my senior year of high school. I spent 17 wonderful years teaching in Michigan before moving to Bainbridge Island. Since 1987, I've had the privilege of teaching students at various levels, from 1st grade to college, while sharing the wonders of the Spanish-speaking world. I’m eager to work with all of you this year and beyond, and I look forward to getting to know each of you. Outside the classroom, I’m a proud mom of two BHS graduates and a grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren. I love exploring new places and creating special memories with my students, family, and friends.
