Mrs. Davis is excited to begin her first year of teaching science at Valley View Middle School. Mrs. Davis graduated from Valley View High School in 1997, before attending Baylor University where she earned a master’s degree in accounting. She worked in public accounting for 8 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom for 10 years. When her youngest child started school last year, she began to substitute teaching. She worked to get her teaching certification and is looking forward to the opportunity to give back to her community through the education of children.

When she is not at school, Mrs. Davis enjoys spending time with her family, watching her kids play sports, volunteering at her church, exploring National Parks, and working in her yard.
HONORING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
National Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration that commemorates the anniversary of independence for five Latin American Countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. During the month-long celebration, the achievements, contributions, culture, and history of Hispanic and Latin Americans are honored.
During the month-long celebration, Ms. Baker is honoring the culture and traditions of students, teachers, staff, and community members with her informational bulletin board. She is highlighting Hispanic artists that contributed to American culture.
