My name is Gina Moon. I have been an educator for more than 20 years. This year I will be using my passion for the arts teaching Art 1 to seventh and eighth graders in our middle school. I will also be using my heart for raising student voice to support our student leaders. I received a multiple subject teaching credential, as well as my Art credential from Sacramento State University. I have taught Fourth Grade, Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, High School, and K-6 grade Art.
