English Second Language (ESL): Cece Garza
Hi! My name is Cece Garza and I am the ELD teacher at Legacy Point. I have been teaching second language learners for 15 years. Before moving to Colorado I taught 3rd grade in California. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Masters Degree in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and a Bachelors degree in education.
I am married and have triplet boys that are now 23 years old. I am a huge animal lover, so I currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats and 2 geese. We love spending our time on the lake skiing and just having a great time.
I love teaching and feel that all students should have the same opportunities to learn to the best of their abilities. I meet students in small groups, independently or in the classroom - it all depends on their needs.

My name is Sheri Searwar. This is my first year working as a learning specialist at Legacy Point. I earned my special education degree in Canada and have taught in both Canada and the USA. I am so excited to be joining the Legacy family and getting to know this community. I want the very best for your child and look forward to a year filled with excitement and learning! I have a .5 position and I will be at Legacy every morning. The best way to reach me is by email at ssearwar@dcsdk12.org.
I have 3 kids, Jordan, Keira and Chase as well as a dog named Toby. We moved here this past year from California and have been loving the gorgeous outdoors that Colorado has to offer! We enjoy hiking and paddle boarding and just exploring new places.
I wanted to share a favorite quote. As a teacher, I feel this is so true. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
