Sherry Burch

Sherry Burch was a parent at Community before she was a teacher here, so she knew how lucky she was when she was hired 24 years ago. She was born and raised in Texas, graduating from Baylor University and then earning her graduate degree from UCLA. Sherry loves teaching and working with the other amazing staff at CMCS. When she is not preparing lessons for her students, you might find her reading, knitting, practicing guitar or piano, or singing.

Tracy Ross

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, attending LAUSD schools from Kindergarten through 7th grade. Since starting teaching in the year 2000, I’ve taught 1st through 3rd grade. I came to CMCS in 2007 and feel blessed to be here. I’m a huge proponent of teaching Social Emotional Learning to our kids. If they/we don’t feel good, they/we aren’t going to learn and grow.

Children and listening to music have always been a passion of mine. When I’m not teaching, you can usually find me at the Pilates studio or under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl.

Kathi Sweet

I’m Kathi Sweet and I teach 1st grade. This is my 12th year teaching at CMCS. Both of my sons attended this school, so I was a parent, a volunteer and a t.a. before teaching here. I enjoy walking, reading, crossword and Kenken puzzles, and yoga. I also love to cook. I get great pleasure from feeding people.
