Hi there! My name is Abby Zeitounian. I am a native San Diegan, avid reader, lover of music/anime/the beach, and a big foodie. I live in San Diego, CA with my husband, Alex, and our two dog-daughters, Penny and Betty (pictured). I have been a teacher with San Diego Unified since I was 24 years old and working at Ericson since I was twentyfive! I graduated from San Diego State University, and then went on to get my Master's of Education with Emphasis in Best Practices.
I was drawn to teach by my love of kids. I knew I always wanted to work with children, but it was my experiences in classrooms that finalized my decision of becoming an educator. I was drawn to educational environments throughout my life, finding comfort in the stability school provided me as a child in and out of the foster care system. I want to be the kind of teacher who offers that same stability and inspires students to explore and gain confidence through learning. After all, learning is cool!
Hello! My name is Mrs. Crago and I am excited to be joining the TK team at Ericson. I am also a proud Ericson Parent, with two children in 5th and 4th grade. As both a teacher and a parent, I understand the importance of creating a safe caring and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I look forward to partnering with your family and making this a wonderful year for our young learners!Â
A few of my favorite things are coffee, Amazon, Trader Joe's, In-N-Out, Painting, Hiking, baking, cats & dogs, and the color teal!
