Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year at Colony Meadow Elementary! My name is Giovanna Martinez. I attended the University of Houston and received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences with emphasis in Psychology and Sociology.  I have been married for 26 years and have three children. All three have attended Colony Meadows, Fort Settlement, and Clements. Nikolas, my oldest, just graduated from the University of Houston December 2022. Christian, my middle child, is in his third year at the University of Houston. Isabella, my baby, is a freshman this Fall at the University of Houston. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and painting.

I have been part of Fort Bend ISD since 2010. After substituting and being the Educational Assistant at CME, I received my teacher certification in Early Childhood-6 and Special Education Early Childhood -12. I was the proud recipient of the HAABSE Teacher of the Year 2021-2022 and named one of the Autism Superheroes with the Hope For Three organization in January 2023. I am currently the Project Read teacher and one of the three Resource teachers here at CME. I love our school community, because we work together as a team and have a common goal for all students –Building Excellence!
