TEACHER OF THE WEEK
Jill Whitehead- Second Grade- Teacher
Hi, my name is Mrs. Whitehead , I am a second grade teacher here at Chavez. This is my first year at Chavez Elementary. This will be my 15th year teaching. I graduated high school from Quinlan in 1998. After I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree from Texas A&M University-Commerce, I taught at Quinlan for fourteen years. I also have a Master’s Degree in Education. My family and I just recently moved to this area and we are excited about the future! I have been married for 9 years. I have two precious daughters. Brooklyn is 7 and Presley is 5. They both attend school here at Chavez. I am looking forward to learning and growing here at Chavez.

4th Grade Austin Capitol Trip
The purpose of the trip was to give our students first hand exposure to our State Capitol where our State Legislators carry on important work. Students learn about the legislative process in class but to visit the actual legislative chambers makes it come to life. Students were also able to visit the Bob Bullock museum where they learned about the rich history of the State of Texas. It was a great day of learning for all.
