When Mrs. Zavala’s first grade class came in for their first day of school at St. Barnabas School in Long Beach, the last thing they expected was to be spending the school year with four sets of twins.
(Shown above) Sisters April and Hailey Ramirez, Christina and Angela Kim, John and Anah Hilton and Alena and Elyse Arteaga all enjoy the benefits of the intimate classroom setting at St. Barnabas. Though none of the twins sits together, by having one classroom for each grade, they forfeit the risk of being completely separated.
Zavala claims that the twins look out for their other halves at school, and they can almost always be found together, though they regularly socialize with their other classmates.
Though Zavala’s class is the one with the most twins, St. Barnabas School has another set of twins in their seventh grade class and had one pair that recently went on to high school.
