Greetings and Salutations!  I am Laura De La Garza, the middle school electives teacher.  This is my fourth year teaching at Springs Studio.  I am also a parent of an SSAE student.  I am originally from New York.  I have a BA from the State University of New York at Albany and an MS from the State University of New York at New Paltz.  When I am not hanging out with my husband and kids, I can be found cuddling my two Shiba Inus.
