Hello Middle School Families and Students,
I’m Ms. Torres, the Social Studies and Religion teacher as well as the 8th grade homeroom teacher. This is my first year teaching, therefore I am very excited and blessed to meet and work with my students and their families this year. 
To inform you about my educational background, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I have had the pleasure of working with the middle school students as well as some of the other grades when I joined the Loretto family last school year as a TA. Besides working as a TA, I’ve also had the privilege of being a sub at Loretto where I was able to form close bonds with the students from the lower grades. It has been a great experience working with the students and making memories with them. 
Through my teaching and the word of God, I will help my students grow and flourish into their best versions of themselves before they transition into High School. My goal as a teacher is to help prepare my students with the necessary resources and skills so that they can have an easier time with managing their studies. With the lord by our side, we are able to accomplish many things. Let the light of the Lord guide us down the right path as we do our very best to succeed. 
That being said, let’s have an amazing year and may God bless you and your family!
Sincerely,
Ms. Torres
