Welcome to fifth grade! I am so pleased that we will be working together! You and I will be embarking on an incredible academic journey together this year. This year marks my twenty-seventh year of teaching and my fifteenth year as a Ford Mustang. In addition to being your teacher, I am happily married to my husband, Mark, and am the proud mother of three sweet kids. Our oldest, Kiersten, graduated from Texas Tech and is married to her fabulous husband, Sam Jones; our middle child, Brock, graduated from Texas Tech with his accounting degree and is working for LIV Golf; finally, the youngest, Ella, is a junior at GHS. Kiersten and Sam made me a proud GiGi with the birth of their daughter, Charlotte, last summer! We live in Georgetown, and we enjoy the time we spend together with our family and friends. Of course, my students and coworkers also hold a place in my heart, and with your help this year, I know we will become like family as we build a respectful, challenging, and comfortable learning environment for all! So strap on your backpack, put on your thinking cap, and let the journey begin! Get ready to SHINE!

Welcome to 5th grade! I am so excited you are here! This is my fourth year at Ford. I have a bachelor's degree in child psychology from Texas State, as well as a bachelor's degree in education from St. Edward's University. I started my teaching journey in Austin, but I love being at Ford! My family and I moved to Georgetown 19 years ago. I have a son, Kenner, who is a second-year student at the University of Arkansas, studying architecture. We have 3 dogs and a cat. My son started school at Ford for Kindergarten, so I have been a Mustang for years. In 5th grade, we work hard to prepare students for middle school. So let's have a great year of learning and growing.

Hello! My name is Marianne Voeller. I am very excited about teaching 5th grade this year at Ford. I have taught 5th grade for nine years. I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where I earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am certified to teach Pre-K through 6th grade, as well as ESL and GT. My husband John and I have five children -- one daughter who is an attorney in Houston, a daughter that will be a fifth-grade teacher at Frost, another daughter who will be a senior at Texas A&M, a son that just graduated high school at East View, and a daughter who lives and works in Georgetown. I was born and raised in Southern California, but I've been in Texas for over 13 years and have fallen in love with Georgetown and all the great people who make the community special. I look forward to a successful and enjoyable year with your children and you!
