Dawn Orosco
Early Kinder
Hi, I’m Ms. Orosco. I teach 5th and 6th grades. I am originally from Santa Rosa, CA, but moved to Sacramento to earn my teaching credential at Sacramento State. During the time I’ve worked for Sacramento City Unified School District, I’ve taught third through sixth grade. I love being a teacher because it is fun to help people learn new things. When I’m not at school, I like to bake, read good books, try new restaurants, and watch shows like Project Runway.
