Good morning! Here is the next installment of our teacher feature! This week we are featuring Ms. Patricia from the preschool! 💙

My name is Patricia M Vasquez-Corral. I have been teaching at St. Mary’s Preschool for 20 years, altogether teaching for 30 and always preschool. Along with my older brothers I am a former student of St Mary’s Elementary…a LONG TIME ago and have been a parishioner for over 50 years. My husband and I were married at St Mary’s church, our son attended preschool and kinder through 8th grade here, this is our Parish! I love teaching…everything, math – rolling the dice game, science – making baking soda/vinegar volcanos, writing – signing in & sight words, music movement – “Four Hugs A Day..”. My favorite thing about being a preschool teacher is those squishy hugs, smiling faces, funny & silly things they say and watching those little kiddos grow through elementary school, high school, college and becoming successful adults. Living in ‘Oceanside’ California is…THE BEST! Seriously, where else can you get up in the morning drive up to the mountains ski a couple of hours, drive back down and surf in the evening? My favorite destination to travel would have to be Hawaii because that’s where I met the luckiest man on the planet, my husband!. When COVID is over I hope to go into a FULL St Mary’s Church. I want to see all the familiar smiling faces I use to see at 9:00 mass, I want to give BIG Hearty Bear Hugs. So, watch out! When my students leave my class I want them to know, I love them more than broccoli, popcorn and Chick-O-Sticks, I will love them forever. I would also like to say, “Thank You” to all the wonderful parents of our little school, its because you chose to send your loves to us that keeps us here. God Bless you all. ...

Miss Pat!!!! You have given unconditional love to countless children in your career. St Mary’s is so fortunate to have you. 🌹

Miss Patricia puts the ⭐️ in St. Mary's!! She's been a constant source of learning, love, friendship and encouragement for both of our daughters since they started at SMSS almost 10 years ago. She's so amazing, we asked her to be Lucy's God Mother!! Miss Patricia is a true blessing to this school and to anyone who is lucky enough to cross paths with her. She is full of love and kindness...and her dedication to the preschool and all the children at SMSS is unparalleled. She's most definitely one of a kind. ❤
