I'm Mrs. D'Alessio and most of my students call me Mrs. D! This will be my 4th year teaching at Celia Hays Elementary! I couldn't imagine working anywhere else! We have the best students and families in Rockwall! My husband, Jeff, and I have lived in Rockwall for 13years. We have 3 terrific children, Julia, Amanda & Michael. I also have 2 cats and possibly a puppy by the end of next week! I must be crazy! It's probably the Texas sun getting to me! I am excited for a new school year to begin! First grade is such a special year. I can't wait to meet you all!
I'm Mrs. Thomas. This is my 13th year teaching, and my 6th year at Hays Elementary. I can't imagine a better place to be. I'm very excited to be joining the 1st grade team. I am a proud mother of three children, Colby (10), Bailey (9), and Cambry (9 months). They are my greatest joy! I have been married to the most wonderful man, Cody, for nearly 14 years. Life is good! I can't wait to get this new school year started!
