My name is Tabitha Willborn and this will be my 15th year teaching in Maypearl ISD.  I will be teaching first grade for the 4rd consecutive year, and have also taught kindergarten, pre-k, 3rd grade, and 4th grade.  I have been married to my husband, Danny, for over 25 years. We both grew up in Midlothian, and moved to Maypearl almost 17 years ago because this is where we wanted to raise our kids.  I stayed at home with my kids for several years, and finished my teaching degree at TAMU-Commerce in Midlothian in May of 2009.  Our son Danny is 24 and has been serving as the assistant kids pastor at his home church since his graduation from SAGU in May 2020. Our daughter Kaitlyn graduated from DBU in May 2021 and moved to North Africa last year to teach English to children.  Our youngest daughter, Kiersten, is 17  and is beginning her senior year at Maypearl High School.  I love teaching first grade! My favorite part of teaching is getting to  help build a strong foundation and a love of learning(especially READING!!) with our students.  I am very excited about starting this new year and  getting to know my kids and their families.
