Hello, my name is Hershelle Elumelu, and I have dedicated 13 years to the field of education. My husband hails from Nigeria, and together we have three sons who are currently in elementary and middle school. As a proud Townewest Texan, I strive to lead by example every day, demonstrating my P.R.I.D.E. to both students and parents. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a teacher, and I feel truly fortunate to have the opportunity to positively influence the students in our community.

Hello Texans, my name is Rachel Menefee, and I have dedicated 10 years to the field of education. Yet, this is my fourth year in FBISD and my first year at Townewest. I am exciting for this opportunity and to be working with all the Townewest Texans. I strive to lead with a serving, caring heart while demonstrating my P.R.I.D.E to both students and parents. When I am not working, I am spending time with family or friends, working out or cuddling with my favorite four legged human (sorry, dog)… Lizzie Ann.

Hello and Welcome, I am the Bilingual Dyslexia Intervention Teacher at TWE! This is my second time around at Townewest Elementary School, I first started as a Bilingual 1st-grade teacher and transitioned on to becoming our Descubriendo La Lectura/ Bilingual Specialist for our campus. After 12 years in that position, I became a Bilingual Dyslexia Specialist now going on 6 years. All in all, I have 22 years of experience in the educational field. I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work and support our students. I look forward to continuing to see our students become independent readers/writers and long life-learners.

Hello Texans! My name is Maria Eisenhour and I am from Mexico. I am the Bilingual Intervention Teacher at Townewest Elementary, with over 13 years in education and more than a decade serving our school community. I’m proud to provide language and literacy support to our bilingual learners, from kindergarten through fifth grade, while also empowering my fellow teachers to build their capacity. Witnessing our students grow into confident, independent readers and writers—and lifelong learners—has been incredibly rewarding. 

Hello, fellow Texans! My name is Mrs. Johnson and I am excited to be your math interventionist again this year. I’d like to share a little bit about myself with you and am eager to build relationships with each of you as we grow as learners!

I have been an educator in FBISD since 2006. My role at TWE is to build relationships with students, parents, and teachers as I provide focused math interventions to identified students in kindergarten through fifth grade. I couldn’t be happier than I am as an educator working to prepare students for success!

Outside of education, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to spend this school year working with some fantastic Texans!
