Mrs. Leslie Legacion Campos
Hello St. Victor school friends and family! My new name as of July 24, 2024 is Leslie Marie Legacion Campos, but you can still call me Ms. L. I am returning for my 3rd year as the music teacher. I also work as the Music Director at St. Francis of Assisi and teacher in my own piano studio. I'm a proud graduate of San Jose State university and I became a music educator because I'm passionate about guiding our youth to discover the musicality within themselves; whether through their singing, dancing, or playing instruments.
