Important note for PARENTS/GUARDIANS & STUDENTS:

For the 2019-2020 School Year I will be using Google Classroom for ALL of my classes. Please ask your students to download the Google Classroom app and log in with their information so that you can follow along with the class if you so wish. Otherwise, all parents can access this site and can find upcoming assignments and assessments on the calendars posted on the individual class pages. Below you can find links to the Syllabus, Procedures and Course Description for each class that I teach.

SMCC hats off to thee...

As a 2000 graduate of SMCC I am extremely excited to have been blessed with the opportunity to return home to teach. My name is Sara Memije and this is my fifth year as a member of the incredible staff of SMCC. After enjoying the entire summer with my children I am back as the Spanish I(8th grade), II and IV teacher. I am married to Carlos Gutierrez and have two wonderful and energetic boys, Xavier (13 years old) and Xander (10 years old) who attend Saint Charles School in Newport and a beautiful little girl, Lila(2 years old)! When work and my children are not keeping me busy I love to travel, speak Spanish and dance! We enjoy taking the summer months to explore new places and visit family in Mexico.

My passion for Spanish began in college when I spent a semester abroad in Mexico. From there I decided to continue living in Mexico for about a year before I returned to Michigan to graduate from Siena Heights University with a degree in Spanish. I am certified K-12 Spanish and Elementary General Education K-5. I come to you after working 15 years in the River Rouge School District with experience in a variety of roles. I started as a English as a Second Language Teacher, transitioned into teaching Spanish and then spent the two years teaching 3rd grade.

I am looking forward to getting the year started and having the opportunity to encourage and engage the youth of SMCC in another language! I am truly thankful and blessed.
