Staff Spotlight: Profe. Vaca
Yris Vaca is our Tik Tok famous, hard-working, and just out-right-awesome Spanish teacher. She originated from La Paz, Bolivia, where she obtained her bachelor's degree. She later ventured to The Ohio State University to finish her master’s degree in Spanish. However, her original dream was to be an electrical engineer, but she decided on teaching because of the multitudinous opportunities.
As she said, “Now I can’t imagine doing anything else.” It’s a good thing too; otherwise, we would not have the pleasure being taught by Profe. Her favorite part of teaching, she says, “is interacting with students and Friday dancing.” She chose to teach at Oliver Springs because it was so close to home and her family. She also says the greatest impact Oliver Springs has had on her life was the first time she met our principal; “I always remember the first time I met Mr. Nivens, and he said ‘family first’. That concept has not changed and I translate that to family and community events. It being a central part of what I do at school.” And even in her freetime, her favorite hobbies are family time on Saturday, eating out with her family and husband, going to the movies with family, and, of course, making Tik Toks. We are so lucky to have such a caring teacher like her. We love you, Profe Vaca.
