Please note that I will not be able to attend all games.
 
    I would need the following information: date of game, time of game, location (city and field name) of game, team colors and team name.  
 
About Mrs. V
I am super excited to be here at RJ Richey Elementary School to be your child's 3rd grade HR teacher.  This year I will teach Math and Science.  
 
Mrs. Chapa will be your child's Language Arts and Social Studies teacher.
 
This is my 6th year as a classroom teacher (all at RJ)
 
I was an Instructional Assistant in Leander ISD for 6 years and a substitute teacher for several districts (Burnet, Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and Leander for 5 years) before starting at RJ.
 
I (from Wisconsin) have been married to my husband, Todd Sr. (from Michigan) for 34 years. We live in Liberty Hill. 
 
We are both graduates of Hawaii Pacific University (Associates Degrees) and Grand Valley State University (Bachelors Degrees). 
 
We are both also U.S. Army Veterans (met in Pensacola), Fla, and stationed in Hawaii for 2 1/2 years!
 
We have 2 wonderful children.  Todd Jr. is 25 years old.  Allison is 23 years old.  They both  graduated from Texas A&M in May '2023!  Gig'Em Aggies!
 
I have a great 7 year old Maine Coon / Calico cat named Callie.
 
I am a HUGE baseball fan! I am a super fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, as I grew up in  Wisconsin.
 
I enjoy watching Texas A&M Aggies college football and Houston Texans NFL football.
