Saludos! My name is Leslie (Sanchez) Jones and this will be my 6th year teaching at Annunciation Catholic School. I am a graduate of University of Oregon.

Spanish is my native language and I have a love for the language and cultures of Spanish speaking countries. I am ethically Mexican; my parents immigrated from the Mexican states of Puebla (father) and Zacatecas (mother). I was raised in Los Angeles where I learned to read and write in Spanish. In fact, my parents prevented my exposure to English until Kindergarten. They feared I would solely learn English and never develop a sophisticated understanding of Spanish. I was also blessed to be in a dual immersion public school until 3rd grade. My late mother-in-law, Paula Jones Lavender, taught 3rd grade at ACS for many years before her passing. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to add to the Jones legacy at the school where she loved to teach!
