    Ms. Blades

    Hello! My name is Ms. Blades, BUT in October I will be Mrs. Motroni! I am honored to be your child’s third grade teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. I absolutely LOVE this age! This will be my third year at Centennial and I couldn't be happier to be a part of the Cardinal family. Third grade is a huge year of growth for students and will be filled with lots of learning, hard work, and most of all, FUN! 
     
    A little bit about me: I am an Arizona native and was born and raised right here in Gilbert! I love being able to call this incredible community my home. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education. In addition, I am currently working to obtain my Gifted Education Endorsement. Teaching is my passion and what I was born to do! When I am not in my classroom, my hobbies include spending time with my family, reading, drinking coffee, and shopping at Target!
     
    I am looking forward to getting to know all of my students and their families this school year! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
