Each year, Catholic Financial Life celebrates Catholic Schools Week by honoring Catholic school teachers across the country for their hard work and dedication.
We are proud to announce Ms. Isela Zavala, our K5 teacher, was nominated for this award. Ms. Zavala taught for 16 years as a kindergarten and 1 st grade bilingual teacher in Dallas, Texas before joining the SCB team. She served as a long term substitute teacher in the middle school before becoming the K5 teacher in 2023.
Ms. Zavala says, “I strive to create a learning environment that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking and the love for learning for all students.” Her dedication to her students is evident in her daily preparation and interactions with the students. She engages her students in hands-on learning and class discussion, and makes learning fun for the students. She integrates the Catholic faith into all aspects of the curriculum, celebrates diversity, and helps all students grow in character by reinforcing Catholic values in the classroom.
Thank you and Congratulations, Ms. Zavala!
