Hello!

My name is Wendy Cook and this will be my first year teaching at Northwood Hills Elementary. I can’t express how thrilled I am to become part of the NHE family! Working with such fabulous staff and students can only lead to an amazing year!

I grew up in Greenville, Texas, and attended Texas A&M University in College Station my first two years of college. After declaring a major, I transferred to Northwest Missouri State University, in Maryville, Missouri, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Geography in 2002 and my Masters of Science degree in Geography in 2007. Even though I didn’t end up graduating from Texas A&M, I am still very much a proud Aggie!

In August 2008, I married the love of my life, Travis. He’s also an Aggie! We currently live in Carrollton with our two furry children, Bailey (Dachshund) and Bella (Doberman). Along with spending time with our family and friends, I love to travel, shop, read, and watch movies.

 I began my teaching career in RISD in 2007, and have loved every minute of it! I couldn’t imagine teaching anywhere else! I have been fortunate enough to teach fourth grade, sixth grade, and now fifth grade. I love spending time with my students, helping them set goals, and then watching them succeed! I truly look forward to everything this year will bring!
