My name is Pat Anderson and this is my 19th year of teaching and my first year to teach 5th grade at Bethany Elementary.  I started my teaching career in 3rd grade at RISD for 10 years. I took some time off to spend time with my family and taught preschool, volunteered in the schools and was a substitute teacher. Next, I taught 5th grade for 8 years in San Antonio with NEISD before moving to the Plano area. 

I am married to my husband and we have 2 grown boys, one is married and I am blessed to have a wonderful granddaughter who is one. In my spare time,  I enjoy going for walks, working in the yard, and spending time with my family!   I look forward to a wonderful year of learning.
