Kelli Campbell - I have lived in Friendswood for 18 years. I have a BBA in Management and worked in industrial sales for the first 10 years of my career. I went back to school and earned my degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Reading. I taught eighth grade reading for one year and have been teaching third grade for the last 13 years. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to teach your children this year at Westwood.

Cindy Carnes - I am soooo very excited to have the good fortune to be your child's 3rd-grade teacher this year! I am also excited about returning to the classroom after being a "stay at home mom" with my two precious boys. I previously taught in Deer Park ISD for 6 years.I am a long-time resident of Friendswood, but I am originally from Victoria, Texas. Please feel free to call me if you have any concerns or questions or e-mail me. ccarnes@fisdk12.net :)

Ann Defibaugh - I have been teaching at Westwood since 1986. I love teaching all the subjects! My hobbies are reading, yoga, square dancing,church handbell choir, and playing violin. My favorite authors are Laura Ingalls Wilder, L. M Montgomery, Jan Karon, Janette Oke, and Louisa May Alcott. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with my students.

Deanna Ellisor - I have taught in Friendswood since 1976. I started as a substitute teacher, then was hired as a full time teacher in fourth grade. I have taught third grade for over 20 years.
I have always wanted to teach. It brings me joys and tears. It offers me challenges and rewards. I am in it for the pay--the hugs, the smiles, the affirmations I receive from parents and students, past and present.

Paula Hughes - 2008 begins my 20th year of teaching and my 14th year in Friendswood. I've taught 1st, 2nd,and 3rd grade. I grew up in Louisiana and I graduated from McNeese State University. When I'm not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading and going to the movies. I look forward to an exciting year with lots of learning here at Westwood.

Peggy Matejowsky - Welcome! This year starts my 16th year of teaching ~ all here at Westwood! I started out teaching 5th grade, then taught 4th grade for several years, and have spent the rest of the years with wonderful third graders. I truly feel like this is my "home" and I am blessed to share your children with you!

Donna Musick - My family has lived in Friendswood for 26 years. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family, read, exercise, and enjoy good friends and food!

Phoebie Rogers - Team Leader - I am very happy to be teaching your children here at Westwood. Westwood is a great place to be! This is my fifth year here, and I couldn't think of a place I would rather be. We are active members of Friendswood United Methodist Church. I can't wait to get to know you and your children better as the year goes on!

Shawn Wyble - I was raised on a small farm in Opelousas, Louisiana. I am the fourth of five children. Growing up around horses and cattle, I developed a love for animals, but more importantly our family farm taught me about responsibility and teamwork. I earned a degree in Journalism at Northwestern State University. Following 8 years of experience in Public Relations, sales & marketing, I went back to school at night and earned a Masters' Degree in Education. I've taught classes in Missouri, The UK, and Florida before coming to Westwood Elementary in 2000. Although I do enjoy the cerebral value of books, technology, and watching performing arts, I'm more of a adventurist than a spectator. I like: travel, camping/gardening, home improvement/do-it-yourself projects, photography, drawing, and often just some sweaty hard labor.
