Hello! My name is Mayra Mares, and I am so excited to be a Founding Firefly at Alyssa Ferguson Elementary. 
I started my career in education in Spring ISD as a Bilingual 4th-grade teacher. I have been part of the FBISD family since 2014 and have loved every minute! At FBISD, I taught kindergarten for seven years and was an English Learner Specialist for three years. 
As a Houston native, I have a deep connection to this vibrant city. I am a product of Houston ISD and a proud graduate of the University of Houston. In my free time, I enjoy crafting with my children, visiting the beach, and cheering for our local college football teams.
