Our Team

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to Ánimo Extera Elementary!

It is my privilege to welcome you to a school where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. At Ánimo Extera, we believe that learning flourishes in a joyful, supportive environment where students feel a true sense of belonging and families are active partners in their child’s education.

Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to providing high-quality instruction through engaging, hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build strong foundational skills, and help every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we celebrate each child’s unique strengths while preparing them to become lifelong learners, self-advocates, and positive contributors to their communities.

We know that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to student success. That’s why we strive to build meaningful relationships with our families through open communication, collaboration, and opportunities to stay connected throughout the school year.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We are honored to be part of your family’s journey and look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and celebration together.

With gratitude,

Lucrecia Villamar

Principal, Ánimo Extera Elementary
