Sophia Carafotes is a Somerville 5th Grade Teacher out of the West Somerville Neighborhood  School on Powderhouse Blvd.  She’s also the head of the Evening School at the High School.   Sophia was Voted Best Teacher in Somerville 2011 by The Somerville News readers and we are proud to also name her “Person of the Week.” She’s a great teacher, we hear, and why not? She’s got a smiling face and charming wit. She has to be one of those teachers we all remember going back to elementary school that leaves a good mark on our memory. A very good teacher.
