Dear "NEW" Team Allenspach,

I am honored to teach your child 6th grade math at Fort Settlement Middle School for the 2022-2023 school year. I have taught at "The Fort" since they opened the doors of this beautiful school 22 years ago. I feel so privileged to be part of the staff here. I am a native Houstonian who has lived in SUGARLAND since I married my wonderful husband thirty-nine years ago. We have a son, Drew,  thirty-six who is married to Katrina. They have given us three little loves.  Jackson who is 4 years old and our granddaughter, Katelyn who is almost 3 and Luke who just turned 1.  I love being "Honey"!  Our daughter, Hillary, thirty-three , taught  kindergarten at Colony Bend Elementary for six years and is now back into the business world working for an IT Staffing Agency.  Anyone need any IT Staffing?  :)  Funny story: Our family was a completely divided when it came to our college alma maters. I attended Texas A&M and our daughter cheered for The University of Texas; my husband graduated from Purdue University and our son played Division I golf for Indiana University. Crazy to think - I wore orange for four years and my husband wore crimson! We are blessed!

As a teacher, my goal is for my students to embrace the experience of middle school and love math in the process. I look forward to a wonderful year filled with many exciting educational discoveries. I hope to guide my students to develop an appreciation for exploring mathematics through the challenging concepts we teach. Thank you for sharing your child.  My motto:  Once Mine, Always Mine!
