teaching the combined 4th and 5th grade class. Mrs. Lee was one of
the original 5th grade teachers here at Vinci Park. Her students
should expect to work hard to learn their very best. Once again,
Mrs. Lee will be in charge of the school's Safety Patrol.
She has taken on the major
task of teaching the 4/5 combination class this year.
Mrs. Lee has 3 sons who
attended the Berryessa schools, so she has the perspective of a teacher
and a parent. |

which include ArtPath, Instrumental Music, and P.E.

State Park--where students pan for gold,ride a stagecoach, and relive the
past OR a trip to Mission San Juan Bautista.
Hands-on activities, encouraging creative
thinking, learning self-respect and respect for others, appreciating cultural
diversity, and taking pride in Vinci Park's cooperative spirit will lead
to a happy and motivated student!!!
