Mrs. DeVargas - room 105
Family life:
Married and had a baby on 7/7/07. My husband, Thomas, and I have seven children together (his, mine, ours), Jessica (28), Brittany (21), Breea (19), Briggs (18), Braxton (16), Brandon (16), and Tayla Brynn (6). Briggs, Braxton and Brandon attend MRHS and Tayla is in 1st Grade at Legend Springs. We have two Chihuahua dogs (Coco and Winter) and one desert tortoise (Slomo).
Professional:
I have a Bachelors in Business Management from University of Phoenix and a Masters in Elementary Education with teaching Certification from Northern Arizona University. I have been involved with Legend Springs since it has opened in 2000 as a parent, volunteer, PTA President, substitute teacher, and teacher. I completed coursework for my gifted endorsement.
Volunteer:
I believe giving back to the community is important in our life. It is also important to be a visible strong role model to children and young adults. When my kids were young, I volunteered for the Moms Club of Arrowhead East which included positions of President, Treasurer and VP. I volunteered for our school's AWESOME PTA which included being President for five years. I have been volunteering and working at Legend Springs since it opened in 2000.
Hobbies:
I love to read, go to the movies, cooking, baking, shopping, hanging with friends and family and eating sushi, burritos and pasta but not at the same time. I use to play indoor soccer before Tayla was born. I also like Pilates, Yoga, hiking, swimming and "Boot Camp" to keep me in shape. My fascination of how food affects the human body led me to become a holistic nutritionist and I consult healthy eating habits to all ages. I love being around water, lakes or oceans. I have addictions towards shoes, makeup, and CAbi clothes.
