Yeiny Perez, known to students and families as Mrs. Perez, serves as a teacher aide at Saint Mary School and has been part of the Saint Mary community for a year and a half.

For Mrs. Perez, one of the most rewarding parts of working with children is watching their confidence grow. She finds a deep sense of purpose in helping students learn, discover new abilities, and feel supported and cared for throughout their school day.

Mrs. Perez sees her work as more than simply a job. Her faith inspires her to view her role as a meaningful calling to serve others and to care for each child who comes into her classroom. She considers working with children one of the most rewarding experiences and strives to care for and protect every student as she would her own.

Outside of school, Mrs. Perez enjoys spending time with her family, taking walks in the park, and attending church together on Sundays.

This year, Mrs. Perez is especially excited to meet her new students and help create a school year filled with fun, learning, and joyful experiences!
