My name is April Velez. I have been teaching since 2014. I have taught first, second, and fifth grade. I moved to Colorado from Texas in 2018. I have two children in Texas attending college. In my spare time I love to be outdoors. I love to hike and paddleboard. I completed my Masters in Reading with an Emphasis in Elementary Education in 2020. I am looking forward to teaching 5th grade Literacy.
