My name is Amanda Albanesius and I am a graduate of Arizona State University.  Go Sun Devils!  This is my 16th year teaching elementary school. I have taught in several school districts across the valley, grades 1-3.  My daughter graduated from SDOHS and is living in New York.  She joined New York Dance Project where she will be studying and performing for the 23-24 season. My son is a junior at SDOHS.  He is on the wrestling team.  I love spending time with my husband, Keith and our kids, Brynn and Ryan.  It's been fun watching them learn and grow as they approach young adulthood.  My family enjoys traveling, watching movies, going to the performing arts and outdoor activities.  Our weekends are spent watching our kids' sports activities, gardening and helping clients with their real estate needs.  We have two rescue dogs, Louie and Bob.  They are part of the family too!
