Hi new Second Graders! 

My name is Lilly Pappas and this is my fourth year teaching second grade at Mooneyham Elementary. Teaching second grade has been my dream since I first started the education path. I cannot wait to take this path with a new set of kids! 

I graduated from Austin College with my Bachelors Degree in psychology and my minors in Spanish and Education. I received my Masters in teaching May 2023 from the Austin Teacher Program at Austin college! I am certified through Texas to teach General Education, ESL, and the Science of Teaching Reading. 

I am from Dallas and have lived there my entire life. I currently live in Plano with my best friend who teaches Middle School with FISD and our other friend. In my free time I like to go to concerts, hangout with my friends and family at the movies, and go to Dallas Mavericks games! I also try to volunteer with my community and other communities around the world as much as I am able. I'm very passionate about photography and travel. 

I can't wait for all of us to teach each other things and help each other reach our goals this year!
