Cossatot River School District is proud to showcase our staff members in The Staff Spotlight! This edition features Maricela Avila:
"Hello! My name is Maricela Avila. I am the English as a Second Language (ESL) Coordinator. I also translate and interpret for the district. I travel to all campuses and enjoy working and meeting everyone on each campus. I always learn something new from our fabulous staff at CRSD. I have worked for the district for seventeen years. I started as an ESL tutor at CRHS and then became the migrant coordinator. I taught second grade for 8 years and first grade for 2 years. I am now in my second year as ESL Coordinator and have learned a lot more. I love my district. I started my education here in 1991, graduated from high school in 2003, and came back to work in 2006. This is not just a working place. It is home, family, and friends. I now have two daughters who attend CRES and CRHS. I feel comfortable knowing my two daughters are safe and know our staff will always do their best to give everyone a safe environment. My safe place is home, my love is my family, and my hobbies are anything that involves being with them. They are my everything."
We are Unique.
We are United.
We are Cossatot River Strong!
