Rosario is now in Ms. Ashlee's classroom, and Camille's son, Joaquin, is currently in Ms. Natti’s classroom. Although Camille's family has called Tempe/Phoenix home for the past 10 years, they are originally from Northern Arizona. They love being part of the local community and are always looking for new adventures; whether hiking, exploring museums, attending cultural festivals, or spending an afternoon at the Tempe Public Library, they're happiest making memories together as a family. Camille is grateful to be part of the TMS community and looks forward to supporting the school and helping create meaningful experiences for students and families through TEMPO.
