I assisted with coaching our k-6 Chess Team and
coached the 3rd-4th UIL Ready Writing Teams for 10 years!

I'm truly blessed to be teaching at John H. SHARY Elementary.

My students have enjoyed great success on the local and National level pursuing
Math/Science projects. My first STEM Team was a group of 3rd graders and were
recognized nationally by the Toshiba Explora Vision Competitive program of young
inventors. My second grade class was recognized as an outstanding participant in a
Nano-Technology Poster and Poetry Design Contest. Two of my 2nd grade students were honored as the State and National 1st Place winners! I have coached STEM Teams ranging

2006. Many of my 4th grade students were invited to participate in HESTEC/NASA projects
