Meet the Teacher - Mrs. Banuelos

Hello and welcome to the Transitional Kindergarten class page!  My name is Christina Banuelos and I am excited to be part of the St. Joseph Catholic School family.  This will be my second year here at St. Joseph School in Pinole.  I am a Pinole resident and graduated from Pinole Valley High. I have a BA in Child Development from Bethany University. I taught Kindergarten for 13 years at El Sobrante Christian School. Prior to that, I taught 3rd grade for five years.

I love teaching...it is my dream job! I am honored to get to do what I love for a living.  I have 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren who are the loves of my life. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading, sewing, quilting, crafting, eating out, going to the movies, traveling, and going to the beach.

I am looking forward to partnering with the parents and families in my class this year in educating your children academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. It will be an exceptional experience that we will navigate together. It is my goal to provide a safe, nurturing environment that makes learning fun and natural.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am eager to get to know you!
