✨ Our fourth grade scientists had a blast today in Ms. Segura's class! ✨ Students investigated the properties of matter by building their very own mystery towers with different liquids and solids. 🧪🌈 Who knew science could stack up to be this fun? 🔬👏

Thank you for helping us find the right fit for our students!

DRAGON FAMILY!! Our final new hire of the 2025-2026 school year is Mr. Jeremy Shelton. Coach Shelton-as he's commonly known-has served as a paraprofessional in the gym at Rice Elementary for the past two years.

This year, he will serve as an instructional paraprofessional for all of our Dragons. Coach Shelton has two boys of his own, and when he's not in spending time with them, he's busy coaching youth sports teams in our community.

Coach Shelton spends time the rest of his free time in the gym and fishing.

Please help welcome Coach Shelton to the Dixie TEAM!

DRAGONS!! We need your help welcoming our new KINDERGARTEN teacher!!

Ms. Franks will be a first year teacher this year at Dixie and teaching monolingual Kinder. Ms. Franks is married to her husband Aaron and recently welcomed their sweet baby girl, Finley Jo. They also share a dog, Cocoa.

When she's not in the classroom this year, you can catch Ms. Franks playing board games and spending time with those she loves. Fun fact: Ms. Franks is originally from Louisiana and is a LSU fan! Geuax Tigers!

Please be sure and welcome her to the FAM!!

DRAGONS, we have another new LEADER to welcome and celebrate for choosing THE Dixie Elementary as their school home. Ms. Esmeralda Suarez will be spending her second year of teaching in 1st grade at Dixie. She is the oldest of three sisters and has two cats and two horses. Outside of school, she enjoys reading and swimming. A fun fact about Ms. Suarez, her birthstone is the emerald which in Spanish, translates to Esmeralda! Welcome to the Dragon family, Ms. Suarez! We are so excited you chose us!

Happy Monday, DRAGONS!! Let's start our week off by welcoming Ms. Darleen Cortes to the family! She will be teaching 3rd grade bilingual math and science this year at Dixie. Ms. Cortes brings with her 14 years of classroom experience. She and her husband, Eleazar, share 5 yr old twins and a 3 yr old. When she's not in the classroom, she enjoys reading to her boys and watching them play soccer. She's also read the Harry Potter series more times than she can count! Welcome to Dixie, Ms. Cortes! We're so excited to call you ours!
