Mrs. Lana Ponce, 6 Black Special Education, has been teaching for almost 3 years but involved in education now for 18 years. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, trying out new restaurants, spending time with her kids and family, playing tennis, riding her bike, and going on walks. Some of her favorite chocolate candy is Reeses, Lindt Truffles, or Take 5. She also loves Swedish Fish and Laffy Taffy. She also enjoys fettuccini alfredo and any type of Mexican food. One thing you may not know about Mrs. Ponce is that she played the clarinet in band for 9 years and has played at Disney's Epcot. What she likes most about teaching is watching the students grow intellectually and see how their personalities start emerging the more you get to know them. Thanks Mrs. Ponce for all that you do to help students succeed.
