Chavez Eagle Express
Week of December 1, 2014
TEACHER OF THE WEEK
I am excited to be chosen as teacher of the week! Mr. Lowman offered me a position at Chavez Elementary last year, when I moved to Little Elm from Omaha, Nebraska, where I taught for ten years.
We became Texans a little over two years ago and are really enjoying this GREAT state. My son graduated last year and is now a freshman at Northwestern State in Louisiana. My daughter is enjoying her second year in high school and is very busy with cheer and dance. My husband and I have recently celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary...time really flies!
We appreciate the Little Elm community and all the nice people we have met. The staff and students are so wonderful here, and I am very grateful to be part of the Chavez family!
Happy Thanksgiving
Dear Chavez Community;
Lord bless and be safe.
