Serna Elementary School - North East ISD

💫Hello! I am Sir Larre Dolberry III and I'll be joining Serna as the 3rd Grade Moonshot Associate Teacher! 🌖

I've been working as a substitute teacher for NEISD for two years as a way to garner experience on my way to becoming a teacher. ⭐️ Working here is another step closer to that goal while also working to receive my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Texas A&M University, San Antonio. 🏫

I have some experience in the classroom from being a substitute teacher but this will be my first time working a more consistent schedule and being a part of a team! 💙 I look forward to learning more from experience and being able to have a positive impact on the students who attend Serna Elementary. 🦭

Some things I enjoy doing in my own time are playing videogames, 🎮 reading various kinds of books 📚 for fun or information and hanging out with my family and friends. 💫

I'm excited to finally start the new school year as an Associate Teacher at Serna Elementary! 📝

✨Hi! I’m Allyson Gutierrez, and I’m so excited to be joining the second-grade team! 💙🦭This will be my second year teaching, and I earned my degree in education from Texas Tech University. 🎓I was born and raised in San Antonio and graduated from MacArthur High School, 🐂 so I’m especially excited to be back home and teaching in the community where I grew up. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my puppy, Archie, 🐾 reading, 📚 watching the Spurs, 🏀 and spending time with my family and friends. I can’t wait for a wonderful school year! ⭐️

⭐️Serna Seals! 🦭This weekend there are 2 great back-to-school community events! Check out the flyers for Saturday and Sunday. 🎒

Hello! ⭐️ My name is Mary Chagani, and I’m excited to be teaching Kindergarten this year. 🍎 I bring 15 years of teaching experience and a passion for creating a warm, engaging classroom where young learners can grow and thrive. 📚 Originally from Minnesota, I’ve called San Antonio home for the past five years. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, ✈️ and working on DIY crafts. I look forward to a wonderful year of learning and connection with our students and families! 💙🦭

✨Hello everyone, I am LaShanda Holder. I’m so excited to join the 4th Grade Moonshot Classroom as the Associate Teacher!🌖
I have a strong background in music, 🎶 with over 20 years of playing 🎷and 15 years of leadership in music. I truly love helping students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork through learning. 📓✏️📚
Before teaching, I also served in the Army for 10 years as an Air Defense Artillery Officer. 🇺🇸That experience taught me discipline, leadership, and the importance of working together 👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏾—values I’m excited to bring into our classroom community. ⭐️💫
I’ve been married to my husband for 10 years, and we have two wonderful children. I’m grateful for the support and encouragement at home, and I’m looking forward to making a positive impact at school every day.

🦭I am excited to begin a new chapter as a fourth-grade teacher and join a new campus community! ⭐️While I may be new to the campus, I bring 21 years of teaching experience, a bachelor's degree in Education, and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. 🎓My passion for teaching continues to grow, and I am ready to bring my experience, energy, and enthusiasm into the classroom!✨
I believe every student can succeed when they feel seen, supported, and challenged. My classroom is an engaging, student-centered space where learners are encouraged to think, 💭 collaborate, ask questions, ❓and take ownership of their learning. 🧠Through hands-on experiences, technology, 💻 and real-world connections, 🌎I strive to make learning meaningful while helping every student grow with confidence.
Outside of the classroom, I am a proud single mom to three beautiful girls! I love traveling, ✈️exploring new places, and creating unforgettable memories. 🏞️ I am always ready for a new adventure, and I cannot wait to see where this fourth-grade journey leads us! 🌖

Quote: “My classroom is where curiosity finds courage and potential finds its voice.”
