If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

What is your favorite thing about coming to school?

I’d have superpowers to know all the answers all the time really fast!

My teacher, Ms. Isberg, because she’s amazing and she loves me!

Super strength so I can be as strong as my dad.

Math class, it’s very entertaining.

I would love to be able to fly.

If I could have one super power I would choose to be invisible.

I love reading so much, so I love to come to school to learn about reading.

My favorite thing about coming to school is hanging with friends.

What is the coolest thing you’ve learned this year?

That I’ve done Math like more and less, and 10 more and 10 less, and adding and subtracting.

What do you like to do outside?

If you could be an animal for a day, what would you choose?

Ooooh… a cheetah so I can run fast!

Division. Dividing numbers into groups is fun!

Run and play with my friends.

An Alpaca, they are so cute and fluffy!

Keller ISD has named Isabella Mora, a special education teacher at Heritage Elementary, as its 2022-23 Elementary Teacher of the Year, and Ann Accas, fine arts teacher at the Keller Compass Center, as Secondary Teacher of the Year. Mora and Accas will now represent Keller ISD in the Region 11 Teacher of the Year contest.

The District celebrated all Campus Teachers of the Year at a special event on April 13. Each of Keller ISD’s 42 campuses named a Teacher of the Year for their school, and after an application review process, five elementary (PreK-6) and five secondary (7-12) teachers were named Finalists and announced through individual surprise campus visits on March 3. The District Teachers of the Year were selected after an interview process with District administrators and past honorees.

Isabella Mora has taught for five years, having served in Keller ISD since 2018. She is a Registered Behavior Technician, a Heritage Elementary C3 PLC Culture Committee facilitator, and a Keller ISD Alternate Curriculum (Unique Learning Systems) Coach. In addition, she developed the Pride Ambassador program, which empowers fifth-grade students to become campus leaders and mentors, participating in reverse inclusion programs with students who receive special education services. Mora believes all students deserve an education that supports their needs and encourages inclusion.
