My name is Amanda Albanesius and I am a graduate of Arizona State University.  Go Sun Devils!  This is my 15th year teaching elementary school. I have taught in several school districts across the valley, grades 1-3.  I live in the Deer Valley district and both of my children attend school here.  My daughter is a senior and my son is a sophomore at SDOHS.  I love spending time with my husband, Keith and our kids, Brynn and Ryan.  My family enjoys traveling, watching movies, going to the performing arts and outdoor activities.  Our weekends are spent on the football field and at the dance studio.  It's been fun watching them learn and grow.  I love my family!  We have two rescue dogs, Louie and Bob.  They are part of the family too!
