The Tassajara Hills Foundation and our school PTA work hard to fund many of our school programs. Did you know they raise approximately $560 per student for our school site? Thanks to all the parents and friends of Tassajara Hills that help raise funds and coordinate events as a part of these amazing groups. For more information about the T.H.E.

About Mrs. Andrews
I am a native of New Jersey and attended Rutgers University, receiving a BA degree in economics. My husband and I moved to Pleasanton over 30 years ago. We have two daughters; one just starting teaching at a middle school in Hayward and the other daughter has just graduated from UC Davis. We also have two dogs; collies named Sophie and Sam. I began teaching as a substitute 17 years ago. I attended Cal State East Bay for my teaching credential. As a full time teacher, I have taught kindergarten, first, third, and fifth grades. I truly love teaching and I am very excited to be teaching at Tassajara Hills Elementary. I have found teaching third grade to be a wonderful grade that is both enjoyable and rewarding. This is my eighth year of teaching 3rd grade.
