Welcome to the information site of Sra. Sanchez!. "The purpose of education is to provide the right conditions to bring out the potential in each of us. It is a journey of self actualization. Realize your potentials.  I have the honor of fascilitating the conditions to bring your fascinating potentials to communicate in Spanish and evolve in your academic journey while in Riverview High School. I was born in Puerto Rico, grew up in South Carolina and now reside in the state of Florida. This experience has provided me insight on different perspective of cultural aspects, so that I can relate this in the learning environment. We will have the opportunity to make connections with one another in the target language. Spanish is fun because we can share different cultural experiences, language, and community connections with the students. Spanish is my first language, and I am looking forward to sharing activities in the that language with students. E-mail messages are the faster and most effective form of communication, therefore, do not hesitate to contact me at Vanessa.Sanchez@sarasotacountyschools.net . The most important message that I have for my students is for them to have fun being life-long learners!"
