Mr. Jason Garcia
This will be my 3rd year teaching at Ptarmigan Ridge Elementary. I have truly enjoyed working with students, parents, and staff in Orting School District. I love working with my students to help them overcome their fear of failure by embracing the learning process. I will be communicating with students and their families via email and website postings. I can't wait for another exciting year of learning through music making!
