My name is Randi Nannini.  I am a first grade teacher at Zamora Elementary.

Little known fact, I was actually born in Woodland and lived in this town until I was about 8 years old.  I moved to a small town just outside of Mt. Shasta where I lived until I moved to college.  I attended Sac State where I received my Bachelor's Degree and Teaching Credential.

I have been teaching for 25 years.  I started teaching kindergarten at a Montessori school in Sacramento.  I then moved to the Natomas Unified School District where I also taught kindergarten for 8 years.  I took a little time off to care for my youngest son who was very ill and needed additional care.  When he began to thrive, I returned to teaching here at Zamora Elementary.  I have taught kindergarten, second grade, and now first grade.

I am married to Brian Nannini, a fire captain in the bay area.  My older son, Michael, is a attends college at UNR. My younger son, Jeffrey, is also at a local high school.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending as much time with my family as possible.  That time usually involves attending sporting events for my children.  We also spend a lot of time at our ranch where we enjoy hunting and fishing.

In addition to my family time, I volunteer much of my time with an organization C.O.P.S.  I travel around the country supporting and mentoring children who have experienced trauma due to a LODD.

Here at Zamora I enjoy spending time with my colleagues, attending conferences to better hone my craft, advocating for my students, and bringing joy to the workplace.

I’m an Aries.

My favorite color changes almost every 3 years.

My favorite drink is a vanilla diet coke from Sonic…must be from Sonic!

Fun facts: I skipped a grade in elementary school.
