Hello!
I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to DCIS at Fairmont. My name is Veraliz Fernández de Barbano but please feel free to call me Verita! I was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia and moved as a college student to Bogota, D.C. I lived there for 25 years and worked as a Kindergarten teacher most of the time! I have a BA in Early Childhood Education, a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and credits towards Educational Leadership. I have 30+ years of experience as a teacher.
I love young students because they grow tons during a school year, they are so eager to learn and to become independent! They make friends and enjoy coming to school so much!
My family and I moved to Denver during the summer of 2017. This will be my seventh year working for DPS and my sixth at DCIS!
I am married and we have 30-yr old twin boys…young men, I mean. My family makes me very proud. I love cats and we have five of them at home! Two of them came with us when we moved since they are also part of our family! We also have a dog named Romeo. He is loving and a “good boy”.
My hobbies are reading children’s literature, watching baseball, dancing…and pets, of course! I am an animal lover!
I believe we will have a joyful and rewarding experience this school year. Welcome to DCIS and to a wonderful year together! Verita
