Cassandra was chosen for this honor by the fifth grade teachers at Foothill Elementary because of her dedication to education. Within the classroom, Cassandra demonstrates an energetic zeal for learning, from keeping a thesaurus in her desk to improve the language in her writing to studying constellations. Cassandra constantly surprises her teachers with her creativity. Most recently, she took first prize in the District Science Fair for her research on the stability and strength of cable-stayed and suspension bridges.
When Cassandra isn’t in the classroom, she can be found reading or playing one of her favorite sports, football, basketball, or softball. She can also be found playing the flute or guitar. Cassandra has been asked to participate in the People to People World Leadership Forum. During a week long program, she will display and model leadership qualities.

Mrs. Castaneda’s focus on moving in a direction that strengthens the educational experiences for children, her tireless energy, and her ability to inspire other staff members have won her the respect and support of both her colleagues and the community she serves.
