Ms. Ashley's TK Class

Hello my name is Ashley Belardes. I am 34 years old. I was born and raised in Valley Center and I now reside on the San Pasqual Indian Reservation with my husband Raymond Belardes IV and our four wonderful children. We are both attending GCU to further our education. I have worked in the education field for over 10 years with All Tribes Charter and the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indian Education Department. We recently just welcomed our fourth baby, soon after her birth I had some major complications and I was not planning on going back to work once I was recovered. But this great opportunity came to me and I knew I needed to take it. I want to be able to make a difference in children's lives and to help them along their path of education. It is a dream of mine to become the best educator I can be for all students that come across my path. I am so excited to work with your child this year, and cannot wait to meet you all.
