My name is Mary Reece. I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived in Plano, Tx for 30 years. I graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Work. I was a Psychiatric Social Worker for 4 years before becoming a flight attendant, where I developed a love of traveling the world. After moving to Plano I became involved as a volunteer at my children's elementary school and ultimately became a regular substitute teacher. I realized that I loved teaching and being with the students; and I answered the call to become a full time teacher. I have worked at Robinson Middle School for 17 years. I am currently teaching 7th Grade English/Language Arts. I love sharing my love of reading and writing with the students and watching them grow throughout the year.
