My name is Lillian Manfredi and I'd like to welcome you to my classroom!

I teach 8th grade Gifted Language Arts, 8th grade Gifted Seminar, and 8th grade Social Studies, and I co-sponsor Student Council with Michelle Gonzales. ​

This is my 8th year teaching at James Monroe Middle School, and I am excited to get this year started. ​

I am originally from Albuquerque, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education and a Master's Degree in Special Education from the University of New Mexico. Go Lobos! I currently hold a K-12 Special Education license and a 7-12 Secondary Education license in Language Arts and Gifted education. ​

I am looking forward to getting to know you this year. My major goals are to assist students in achieving much in terms of autonomy, improved social skills, organizational proficiency, successful study habits, and a passion for reading.

This is going to be a great year!
