Hola Marlin Family!

My name is Ms. Diana DelaFuente. I am very excited about the upcoming school year. This will be my first year at Marshall, in which I will be teaching 4th Grade Reading and Math. 

I was formerly at Burchett Elementary from 2009 to 2022. I have received various recognitions, including Rookie Teacher of the Year, Teacher of the Month, ACE Committee Member of the Month, and the honor of being Recognized by the United States Department of Education! 

I earned a General Studies Bachelor’s Degree from Lamar University focusing on three cores:  English, Sociology and Criminal Justice. I made the President’s List and received an award for Most Outstanding Mathematical Student.

I am a mom of an amazing son, Noah, who graduated from Spring HS 2021 and received his welding certification earlier this year. I have two fur babies that rescued me, Foxy and Charlie.  🧡🐾🧡

I am a big believer that learning should be fun! I like to dress up on special days along with the kids like Red Ribbon Week. My "Jack Sparrow" look is a work in progress as I cut my long hair recently and donated it to Wigs for Kids. I am a supporter of helping our community however we can.

Let the fun begin! 🎉
