“We are preparing students for the future with incredible values, morals, empathy, and leadership.”

  – Mrs. Maylen Velazquez  

5th Grade Teacher

Mrs. V likes spending time with family, baseball, movies, beach, pool, reading, and scrapbooking. She is passionate about education and teaching students to become caring and respectful young adults that make a positive impact in our world. She admires God and her parents who sacrificed a great deal for their family and instilled a love for family, a passion for helping others, and has given such a great example of unconditional love. Her children inspire her to be a better human, mom, teacher, wife, Christian, and friend everyday.  She believes that Shelton has the responsibility to help develop the whole child, not just academically.  She thinks the faculty is filled with compassionate, gifted and loving individuals that go above and beyond to help the students and make learning an exciting and fun process.
