Hi! My name is Christa Castellano (most people call me Ms. C) and I am SO excited to be your 5th grade teacher in Room 104. 

This is my 12th year of teaching, 10 of those here at Lee-Hamilton, in Kindergarten, first, fifth and sixth grades. 

I  born & raised in North County (Florissant & Ferguson), and still have family

that lives right down the street from school. I am the oldest of 4 children (my baby

brother went to Lee-Hamilton!!). I went to Hazelwood West High School, Lindenwood College and graduated from UMSL with a Bachelors and Masters in Elementary

Education.

I am married to a Ferg-Flor grad: Mr. C & I have been married for almost 27 years. During those years we have lived in 10 houses in 2 states (Missouri & North Carolina). We have two adult children, Vincent and Marissa, and a new puppy, Rip.  WHEW! When not in school teaching or learning, I love to read, garden, observe nature, cook, and spend time with my family! 

We are going to have a wonderful year!
