Welcome to fifth grade at Global Arts Plus!  I am so excited to be your child’s teacher during this important year of school.  My name is Elizabeth Mena-Larsen and I have been teaching for twenty-six years! I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing school and I am committed to teaching, learning and the arts. We will use Schoology this year.

Aside from education, I have a passion for traveling, nature, gardening, reading, and being a mom. I live in Saint Paul with my husband Curt, our 14 year old daughter, and our animals.  We have a cat named Nitnit and a dog named Willow.

I look forward to getting to know you and your child throughout the school year.
