Mrs. Eva Rashid

This is my 23rd year teaching in the Rialto Unified School District. I taught at Curtis Elementary for 6 years, Bemis Elementary for 10 years and this is my 7th year at Fitzgerald Elementary . I have taught 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade most of my career. I have a special love for 3rd graders because at this age students are somewhat independent, responsible learners and are excited about learning. I love teaching and could not imagine doing anything else. My hope as an educator is to instill the love of learning in my students and to make a difference in their lives.

Mr. David Lewis

I served for 4 years in the US Navy and after my end of obligated service I went back to school and earned my BA in psychology. After working in corporate America for 4 years, I found my passion in teaching and went back to school and earned my teaching credential in early childhood special education. This is my 5th year teaching the SDC preschool program at Fitzgerald elementary. I recognize the need for positive male role models in our early education systems as well as the need for early intervention. I adore my students, appreciate their families, and am blessed to work with such a great group of educators.
