My name is Sirys Vega. I am so grateful to be a part of the PS.68 community! In 2013, I graduated from the College of Staten Island with a bachelor’s degree in Childhood Education. In 2019, I also earned my master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

I believe that each student brings their own history and knowledge to the classroom. It is important for me to get to know my students as both learners and people. I want my students to feel successful when they enter my classroom. As the Brain Power Leader, I strive to create a supportive and positive classroom environment which fosters healthy, happy, and focused students!

It is also my mission to help students fall in love with learning through the power of reading! Aside from teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, and crystals.
