Born and raised here in Chicago, I've worked hard to instill my Armenian ethnic heritage in my children's lives from a very young age. I taught ESL to adults in D211 for a very long time before I began working at Maine West in 2015. This is currently my 6th year teaching Executive Functioning to our wonderful MW Warriors!]]> 2020-09-08 14:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329127 lkalayjian https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329130 A family picture!]]> 2020-09-08 14:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329130 lkalayjian https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329132 Our sweet Goldendoodle, Charlie!]]> 2020-09-08 14:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329132 lkalayjian https://padlet.com/lkalayjian/kvnedf8npqs6e7t0/wish/727329153 I'm a proud high school graduate of Maine Township D207!
