MST Magnet Elementary
Week of March 14th
Welcome Back!
Our theme for the 2015-2016 school year is MST Version 2.0: Uploading Excellence for 20 Years. This year marks our 20th anniversary! MST Magnet Elementary opened in 1995 at the Arapaho building and moved to the present location in 2005 after Richardson Junior High School was closed and repurposed. MST has built a legacy of innovation, creativity, and dedication to student learning that is immeasurable. It is through our partnership with our parents and community towards the devotion to student achievement and our genuine love for MST, that teach year has brought continued success.
Staff Spotlight: Ms. Dean - Librarian
Hi! I'm Lauren Dean and I'm the MST librarian. This is my 5th year to work as a librarian. Before that, I taught 5th grade for 5 years and 3rd grade for 2 years. I have been so grateful to be at MST for all of it! I graduated from Texas A&M with a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, and then went on to get my Master's Degree in Library Sciences. In my spare time I love to read (What kind of librarian would I be if I didn't?), take pictures (You've probably seen me at school events with my camera!), and spend time with friends and family. I love getting kids excited about reading and teaching them to be safe and responsible using the Internet and our library online resources!
Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Andrews - 5th Grade Science
Hello! My name is Kelley Andrews and I have two great daughters, Kate (10) and Anna (3). I have been married to my husband, Shawn for 18 years. This is my 10th year teaching Science at MST. Time flies when you are having fun! I am originally from New York, but Texas has been my home since 1994. I am a graduate of UTD for my Bachelor’s degree, and I received my Master’s degree from UT-Arlington in Science Curriculum and Instruction K-12. In my spare time I love cooking, reading, gardening, hiking, going to science museums, and spending time with my family. I have some interesting pets including an Eclectus parrot, fish, a labrador, and my class pets Spika and Smaug, the bearded dragons.
