My name is Laura Byrd.  This is my thirteenth year teaching.  I taught second grade in Alief, at Boone Elementary for three years.  Subsequently, I took a ten year hiatus from teaching to stay home and raise my children. When I came back, I began working in Fort Bend ISD at Commonwealth Elementary. 

This is my eighth year at Anne Sullivan Elementary; I started working at Anne Sullivan when the school opened.  Some of you may know me from my years as a second grade teacher. I have moved to fourth grade and I love it!

I have been very happily married for 27 years.  We have a son named Dylan who is in college.  I also have an eleventh grade son, Austin, that plays water polo at Elkins High School, and an eighth grade daughter, Julia, that goes to school at Fort Settlement.  My hobbies are yoga, riding my bike, going to the movies, & spending time with my family.

This is going to be a fantastic year!
