Welcome to  Mrs. Mallard’s 3rd grade classroom! I am so excited to be starting my 5th year at Donald and my 13th year in education. I love teaching Science and Engineering. It is so exciting for me to see the kids get so excited when we do ALL the hands-on activities. 

I grew up in Mineral Wells Texas. I graduated from Midwestern State University with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, went back to school after I had my son and received my teacher certification, then went back again and got my Masters in Education with an emphasis in conflict resolution from Abilene Christian University. 

I have been married for 19 years and we have a 16 year old son. Maddox is a junior at Marcus HS and plays golf on the Marcus Golf team. We also have a 13 year old daughter who plays tennis for Lamar MS and plays the flute for the Lamar MS band. She is in 7th grade. I love my two dogs, Dunder an Australian Shepherd and Dipper a Bernese Mountain Dog. As a family we love to play with the dogs, swim, play golf and tennis, go to the movies and just have fun!
