 Teacher
Mrs. Gina Ledesma, a native Alamedan, is very honored to do God’s work,
helping the young people of today become the Christian leaders of tomorrow.
She feels it is her ministry to touch their lives with fun and exciting
learning as well as with God’s love.
She has been teaching in some capacity since 1985. After
working for four years at Calvary Christian School as an after-school aide,
she went on to train floral managers for Safeway Stores. While pursuing her
bachelors degree, she worked as
a desktop applications and proprietary software trainer for computer
training facilities, "dot coms" and Bank of America.
She felt a tug from the Lord to use her teaching
abilities for elementary school. She decided to go back to school and
pursue her teaching credential at the University of Phoenix. She taught third grade at Horace
Mann Elementary School in East Oakland. She thanks the Lord for the blessing
of teaching at ACS. It is her dream turned into reality.
Mrs. Ledesma goes to Calvary
Christian Center in Alameda. She
thanks God for a very supportive husband who is willing to help her make a
difference in your children's lives.
