Hello! My name is Carmen Schimmer. I am the 5th grade ELA & Writing teacher. I am thrilled to be in my 4th year teaching at East Sac County. GO RAIDERS!! I am Mom to three amazing children (now adults) & a wonderful son-in-law! And I am Nana to the two CUTEST kiddos!
When I am not teaching or spending time with my family, I enjoy reading, watching football and basketball (preferably college!), spontaneous road trips, and spending time with friends.
