About Me

Welcome to 5th grade! I am Mrs. Alfaro & I teach Social Studies and Science here at Frederick School. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2018...Go Redbirds! I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Reading. In 2023, I graduated with my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an ESL endorsement. I am the first person in my family to graduate college and become an educator!

Here's a little more about me: 

I live in Buffalo Grove with my wonderful husband. During my free time, I enjoy being outdoors whether that's playing tennis or going for a walk, I enjoy reading a good mystery book,  and I also enjoy any activity that lets me be creative (scrapbooking, jewelry making, etc.) Family is an important part of my life. I am an aunt to 8 nieces and nephews! I consider Frederick School like my second family and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you!
