Hello everybody! My name is Daniel Gilbert and I am a 5th grade teacher at Los Medanos Elementary. This is my first of hopefully many years here at LME and in the Pittsburg Unified School District and my 3rd year teaching overall. I was lucky enough to get my credential during the fun years of distance learning and I am a proud Fighting Phoenix! I grew up in Pittsburg (Foothill Elementary, Hillview Junior High, and Pittsburg High School) where I was a student-athlete and I have always enjoyed trying to be the best at both (a parent’s best friend for a teacher). When I am not teaching, I am probably enjoying my free time with my wife, friends, or family. I love Stanford University, Star Wars, The Office, and if you want to get in my good graces, Sour Patch candies.
