I have been teaching Art at Bush Elementary since 2002.  I am a member of the Texas Art Education Association, Alief ISD Superintendent’s Teacher Advisory Committee, Bush Elementary Teacher of the Year 2019, Top of TEAM- Texas Elementary Art Meet, and Alief Rodeo Art Show and Houston Rodeo School Arts Program Best of Show and Gold Medal Awards winner. 

Everyone is welcome in my music classroom! 

I have 2 years of experience teaching elementary music. I am a proud member of the Texas Music Educators Association, the National Association for Music Education, and an alumna of the Pioneers Music Educators Association. 

I aspire to spark creativity and build unity through music. Encouraging students to get out of their comfort zone, make connections with those around them, and create something unique is crucial to their everyday lives. As a teacher, I consistently find new ways to challenge and motivate my students through motivation and creativity.

I am Dorothy Smith, a Graduate of Houston Baptist University. I am celebrating my twentieth year at Bush Elementary.

I am also ESL Certified, and I count it a privilege to teach students from all over the world!. I love new challenges while cultivating and motivating my students to experience the Wonderful World of Music!.
