In her own words…
“Teachers are building the next
generation of critical thinkers. My daily goal is to build young men and women
with integrity, honor and the desire to work hard. This will focus this
generation to be successful and happy adults.”
In the words of others . . .
“In our Spring Shadows community, she is the teacher who
organized the ‘big trip to Austin.’ When the principal told her funds were
tight, she and her teammates were able to fund raise over $4,000.When the tour
company organizing the trip pulled out, Mrs. Thomas refused to give up. She
organized the tours herself. . . . Why?
Because she believes we get what we give and she gives it her all – daily!” – Spring
Shadows Elementary Assistant Principal Sue Bryant
“Mrs. Thomas is an asset to Spring Branch ISD and continues
to plant the “seeds of success” in the district’s students, whether she sees
them bloom or they bloom later. A student is fortunate to have Mrs. Thomas as
their teacher.” – Carolyn Browning, District I-Coach
