STAFF SPOTLIGHT
This week’s spotlight is on one of our awesome 4th grade teachers, Mrs. Jones. Here is what she has to say about herself:
I was born and raised in Plano, TX. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Baylor University and Master’s degree from Southern Methodist University. This is my 3rd year at Prestwick and my 8th year of teaching. I previously taught 3rd grade in Richardson ISD before moving to the Little Elm area.
One of my favorite things about teaching is building relationships with students and their families. I hope to instill love and confidence in my classroom. It’s exciting to learn with my students and experience new, innovative ideas.
My husband, Victor, and I have known each other since middle school. We have 3 dogs that we spoil rotten. During my free time, I enjoy running two of the 3 dogs (the 3rd is a bulldog), binge watching suspenseful Netflix shows, and traveling.
I love being part of the Prestwick Family and so grateful to work with such amazing families, teachers, and staff members.
Field Day is April 26th....This Friday!!

Hello, Proud Prestwick Parents!
We're in the home stretch! In March, I worked with the K through 5 students on Careers, and we did activities related to choosing your jobs and making goals.
In March, also, I worked with 4th and 5th Graders on Not Gossiping, and Empathy. Students learned some practical ways to apply skills to prevent gossip and show empathy to others.
May 4, the Prestwick STEM Lobo Ambassadors will show off their service core value by picking up trash all around the neighborhood!
