Meet Mrs. Telarico
Welcome to 2nd Grade Room 203! My name is Joni Telarico and I will be your student's teacher for the 2023 -2024 school year! This is my sixth year teaching second grade and my eighteenth year teaching. This is my eighth year of teaching at Aspen View Academy.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my family has lived here in Castle Rock for the past eight years. I have been married to my husband Mike for 29 years and I have two sons. Matt is 21 and a college senior, and Cameron is 19 and a sophomore in college.
We love living in Colorado and enjoy being outside. Hiking, biking, yoga, and spending time with my family are some of my favorite activities to do! I am looking forward to a great year working with you and your student!!!
