Hello!! My name is Jerra Rivers. I am a fifth year teacher, and I am so excited to be teaching first grade at the Preston Elementary! I graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and certification in ESL.

I grew up in Denton, Texas, where I graduated from John H. Guyer High school and where my mom, Mary Rivers, also worked at before retiring after 18 years in Denton ISD. I have a half- brother named Patrick Lee Rivers who currently serves in the military and is stationed in Georgia.  I have 2 nephews, Dayvonn (16 years old) and Patrick Lee Rivers III (5 years old).  I have two cousins who are like my siblings as well. Adam, who will be a junior at University of Texas and Sarah, who graduated from Baylor University. 

 I love to read, go shopping, play all kinds of sports (volleyball is my favorite) and most of all spend time with my family and best friends!!

 So excited to be sharing my FIFTH year of teaching with YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
