Hi! My name is Michelle Bunyard and this is my 5th year as a Resource teacher at Sonntag. I have taught Special Education for 13 years and have spent 19 years as an educator. I have 2 grown children both graduates of Frisco HS and Texas A&M. I am "Grammie" to a sweet baby boy named Charlie. In my spare time I love to travel, and spend every summer in Michigan with my family enjoying Lake Michigan and the great outdoors!
My name is Dori Baker, this is my 5th year at Sonntag as a Resource teacher and my 14th year in education. I am married to my husband, Scott and we have two adult children (that's really weird to say, lol). Our son lives in Corpus Christi and is a fishing guide and our daughter will be starting cosmetology school this fall. I am so excited to see all of our students back on campus and look forward to a great year!
Stacey Speer
Resource Teacher
Ms. Speer grew up in Duncanville, Texas and graduated from the University of North Texas. This is her tenth year of teaching with eight of them being in Frisco ISD at Sonntag Elementary. Both of her parents are retired teachers and she has two older brothers who live in the Dallas area. Outside of school, Ms Speer LOVES George Strait and his hoping he comes out of retirement to go on the road more often (preferably near Frisco). She also enjoys the outdoors, watching college football, making t-shirts, writing thank you cards for our Veterans taking part in Honor Flights and spending time with family and friends. She is very excited about this school year and to see all the learning that will take place!
My name is Carissa Mixon and I'm excited to be a part of the Sonntag family again!
This school year I will be embarking on my eleventh year as an educator and my first year as a Resource teacher for Sonntag Elementary. My goal as an educator is to meet your child wherever he/she/they is academically and socially to develop strategies that work best to promote success in him/her/them.
On a personal note, I am an Arkansan at heart, as July marked my second year in Texas. I consider myself to be an amazing wife and an even more amazing mother to my five, beautiful children! I love everything glitter and leopard print and I can watch re-runs of The Office for hours!
Let's have a fantastic year, Coyotes!

Specialized Behavior Support Teacher
Hi, I am Amy Henderson-Hoad and I can't believe it, but this is my 22nd year teaching! I have taught in Frisco for 12 years and this is my 10th year at Sonntag. I love working with my Sonntag family.
I have an amazing, blended family! Jon and I have 5 kids that range in age from 16 to 24. Oh, and I can't forget my 3 fur babies, a Goldendoodle, a Labradoodle, and a Labrador.
We only have two of our 5 kids left at home. They keep us busy watching basketball and cheerleading.

Alisha Dettling
Specialized Behavior Support Paraprofessional
Hello Families!! I am so excited to be starting my 3rd year at Sonntag Elementary. I have worked as a paraprofessional for over 6 years, taking a break to raise my kids, and now back at Sonntag.
My husband, Chad and I have 3 kids, and a big mastiff/hound furr baby named Charlie. My two oldest will be in Middle School in the 6th and 8th grade, and my youngest will be at Sonntag in the 4th grade. All three of them have attended Sonntag, and I could not be more thrilled to be part of the Sonntag family/staff.
During my free time, I am at the baseball field with my 2 boys, or volleyball court with my daughter. I also enjoy camping, and spending time with my friends and family.
