 Welcome to Mrs. Di Loreto Middle School Math & Christian Leadership
A little bit about myself.  I went to Galena High School and then went to the University of Nevada, Reno where I studied elementary education and also played soccer for the WolfPack.  My passion is to ‘make a difference’ and teaching is a perfect avenue to reach that goal.  This year will be my 14th year of teaching.  I have my Bachelor’s degree in General Education, K-6 and Special Education, K-12.  I also hold a Master of Education-Administration degree. I have coached soccer and basketball for 17 years.  
Thank you for your support.  Your child needs your support to be successful in the classroom. If you need to communicate with me, you can reach me at adiloreto@littleflowerschoolnv.org
