Welcome to 4th Grade!
Meeting Mrs. Edmund
Hello ~ My name is Catherine Edmund and I am so excited to be working with your precious children this year.
I grew up in Bryan/College Station, Texas . Although I don’t remember this, my mother tells me I use to line up all of my dolls and stuffed animals and read them stories when I was a little girl ~ so I guess I was destined to be a teacher from a very early age. After I graduated high school, I moved to San Marcos to attend Southwest Texas State University (now known as Texas State). I also completed my master's degree at Texas State University. I have taught all different grade levels at different schools and was even a school counselor for a couple of years, but my absolute favorite grade is 4th and my all time favorite school is Forest Trail Elementary! I am married to my husband Jack and we have two beautiful girls… Ava, who is a sophomore at Westlake High School, and Lily who will be in 3rd grade here at FTE. Again I am so excited about this school year and know it will be the best year ever! ~ Catherine Edmund |

Meeting Ms. Robinson
Greetings!
I just wanted to start by saying how thrilled I am to continue teaching on the 4th Grade Team at Forest Trail Elementary! I am originally from Canada but my family and I have lived in Seoul, Korea; Taipei, Taiwan; and Woodbury, MN. When my family moved to Austin in 1997, I was just entering 6th grade. I loved everything about Eanes, the schools, and their teachers. I graduated with the Westlake class of 2004 and headed off to Texas A&M Corpus Christi (TAMUCC) to complete my Bachelors in Bio-Medical Sciences (Pre-Dental). After realizing I should be following my heart, and not the dollar signs, I made the move to becoming a teacher. In December of 2014 I completed my Master's in Elementary Education at TAMUCC. My program graciously allowed me to student teach in the Eanes District, which is where I knew I wanted to be. During my student teaching career, in Mrs. Purdy's classroom, I fell in love with the students, parents, and culture of the Forest Trail Elementary community. This is now my fourth year here at FTE, and I can't tell you how excited I am to see the students I taught in Mrs. Purdy's class in a class of my own! ~ Ali Robinson |
