Meet Mrs. Estes

Welcome to Cactus Ranch Elementary! I feel very honored to have the 
opportunity to be a part of your child's first school experience!  
Kindergarten is an exciting time of learning and discovery and sets the tone 
for your child's lifelong journey in education.  

This will be my fourth year at Cactus Ranch and my fifth year teaching. I 
have been in Kindergarten thoughout my career and I am so happy to spend my 
day with such wonderful personalities and limitless possibilities!  I'm 
looking forward to a great year! I am a 2006 graduate of Texas A&M 
University. 

My husband Tony is also a 2006 graduate of Texas A&M University and works as 
a civil engineer at a design firm in downtown Austin.  We were married in 
December 2007.  In December 2010 we welcomed our first child, our sweet baby 
girl Emerson, into our family.  We are very excited to begin the wonderful 
journey of parenthood! My personal hobbies include working out, reading, 
trying out new recipes, traveling, and spending time with my friends and 
family.  

I am really looking forward to getting to know you and your family.  My goal
this year is to create a classroom family of life long learners.  My desire 
is for your child to become an independent, responsible Kindergartner who 
loves to learn!  As a parent I know you send me your very best child.  I 
promise to care for and teach them the way I would hope my own child would be 
cared for and challenged. My hope is that the students in my class become 
problem solvers who learn to welcome a challenge and see it through.  I 
welcome family involvement, and welcome the chance to work together to make 
this a successful year.  I look forward to being a part of your child's 
education!
