Mrs. Dolores Kotara

Fifth Grade Team Leader

 

Shepard is my home away from home! Teaching is my happy place!  

Teaching is my passion. My hobbies include spending time with family, reading, cooking, shopping, and decorating my home.

I am a life-long learner, so that means, in addition to having my masters and several certifications. I like to learn as much as I can about the latest in education. 

My husband and I enjoy traveling and the theater. We enjoy beach vacations mostly, but we're thinking about planning a winter scenery vacation soon. 

The holidays are a great time of year. I enjoy hosting and building family memories.
