My name is Dawn Vargas and I have been teaching for 17 years, all at Moffitt Elementary School. I taught 1st grade for 13 years and for the past 4 years I have been in 3rd grade and absolutely love it!! I received my AA and BA from California State University Fullerton, my teaching credential from UCLA and my Masters in education from National University. I have been married for 18 years and have 2 sons, Ryan and Marcus. Ryan is in 6th grade in this district and Marcus is pursuing a career in the Navy. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends watching sports, especially the ones my boys are playing. We like to spend our spare time on a new and exciting hobby this year, race car driving. My 12 year old has begun driving race cars and needless to say giving mom a heart attack!! All kidding aside, he is actually pretty good and I am getting better watching him. I also have a senior citizen for a dog named Mocha who is 16 years old!!!
On a side note My husband, John, and I are both products of NLMUSD having attended Gardenhill Elementary School and La Mirada High School together.
