Katherine Welbeck:  Hi, my name is Katherine Welbeck, and I am a fourth grade teacher at Felix Cook, Jr. Elementary School.  I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Sociology and African American Studies.  This is my first year teaching, and I am so excited to be teaching here!  I know that I am here today because of so many wonderful teachers that I have had in the past.  I've always loved the Dr. Seuss book "Oh the Places You Will Go" because it speaks so well to the ways in which education leads to success.

Whitney Hill is a Fourth Grade Teacher at Felix Cook Elementary School. I am a proud graduate of Ohio University. This is my first year in Stallion Land and I anticipate a year of many great accomplishments from my students. I believe that every child deserves a first rate education and I will not settle until that need is met for everyone.

I am April Williams fourth grade teacher at Felix Cook, Jr. Elementary.  I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Houston-Downtown, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. I received my teaching certification from A+ Texas Teachers.  I believe that the role of a teacher is to find the strengths in every child and allow it to resonate throughout all classroom activities and learning experiences.

Juanita Gonzalez: My name is Juanita Dorena Gonzalez and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.  I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management from Barry Catholic University in Miami, Florida.  I gained experience in working with children while in college as a tutor.  After graduation,  I discovered that working with children became my passion!  So it was then that I decided to enroll in the Region 4 Alternative Certification Program.  I enjoy teaching very much because the future starts today and it is today that we must prepare the people of tomorrow.  I enjoy acting, traveling, conducting research on certain topics of interest, listening to music and volunteering in church activities.
