Hi! My name is Marion Yamada and this is my 10th year of teaching for PUSD. I have the pleasure of teaching my favorite grade, Kindergarten! Ever since I was in kindergarten myself, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I've had a lot of amazing teachers along the way who were very nurturing and inspiring. I hope to do the same and to help all my students build a love of learning. I received my Bachelors, Teaching Credential, and Masters degree at the University of California, Irvine. I enjoy traveling with my husband, going on foodie adventures, visiting Disneyland, and spending time with family and friends. We recently had a new addition to the family, our sweet little girl, Kayla. I love watching her grow each day, and I'm hoping she'll be a future Hamilton Bobcat!
