Chestnut Elementary School for Science and Engineering

Rev up your engines to start a new exciting school year! Join me on a reading adventure as we celebrate historic Route 66 and your child’s achievements as they strive to meet their finish line goal: reaching their highest potential.  Don’t forget to enjoy the stops along the way on our road to success as we have many exciting events planned this year (starting with a Scholastic Book Fair).    

ABOUT ME:  Almost 30 years after the beginning of my career, I continue to strive to meet students where they are to enable them to succeed as they learn the joy of Reading. Raised in vibrant South Florida, I am a proud graduate of Hialeah High School (GO THOROUGHBREDS!), Miami Dade College, and Nova Southeastern University (GO SHARKS!).  Additional coursework in real estate and in Educational Leadership was completed at St. Thomas University. My love for the written word fuels my passion for reading.  Remember that every student is a reader; they just need to discover their favorite book genre that will ignite the spark to a life of reading enjoyment. 

“Every student has their own story to write one day.”– Ms. Janette Rios, Media Specialist📚✨
