We are thrilled to announce the addition of Sarah Horn to our Kindergarten team at Mary Moore! Here is some information on this amazing educator.
Hello, Mary Moore Family!
My name is Sarah Horn, and I am so excited to join the Texan family as a member of the Kindergarten team! I previously taught Pre-K at a private school, before coming to AISD nine years ago. I have worked in Deaf Education, Audiology, and for the past two years, I taught 2nd Grade just down the street at Miller Elementary.
I grew up close by and actually graduated from Martin High School. After high school, I attended The University of North Texas where I graduated with a degree in Psychology with a minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I returned to school in 2018 to earn my teaching certification and have loved every minute of being back in the classroom full time! I enjoy working with the littles and helping spark their love of learning!
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out my family and friends. I have two nieces that I love to spoil! I also have a dog and a cat, and will soon be adding a new puppy to my family! I like coffee, playing cards and hiking. This summer I am looking forward to camping and reading by the pool!
Mary Moore is such a wonderful campus, and I am so thrilled to be joining this awesome community. I know it is going to be an amazing year and cannot wait to get started!
We are excited to announce the addition of Jenna Copeland to our Mary Moore family! Here is some information about this wonderful educator:
Hi Everyone! My name is Jenna Copeland and I am so excited to be joining the 4th-grade team at Mary Moore. I will be teaching math and science!
I grew up in Massachusetts, but I moved to Texas as soon as I could. I attended The University of Texas at Arlington. I have taught 2nd & 3rd Grade at Short Elementary in Arlington. Three years ago my husband, Michael, became a teacher and coach at Lamar High School. I had driven to Arlington for the past 10 years, so it only made sense to move here!
I have two children Madison who is 3, and Alexander who is 3 months. They keep things interesting at home!
In my spare time, I enjoy chalking outside with Madison, going on walks with my family, and reading.
We are thrilled to announce the addition of Tori Laughlin to our Mary Moore family! Here is some information about this fabulous educator:
Hey y'all!
My name is Tori Laughlin, and I can't wait to join the Mary Moore team this fall as a 4th grade math and science teacher! I grew up in Arlington, and my husband and I are both graduates of Arlington ISD.
I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in elementary education. I loved my time in Norman but headed back south of the Red River to start my career. I have taught 3rd grade for the last 10 years at Lynn Hale Elementary.
I live in Arlington with my husband Garren. We added to our family in December when we welcomed our daughter, Emrey. We also have two dogs, Ranger, and Bentlie. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family and friends. I also love to travel, read, watch reruns of Friends, and watch college football. Boomer Sooner!
I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I am so excited to be a part of the Mary Moore community!
We are thrilled that Kristen Dreyer will be a part of our Mary Moore family next year! Here is some information on this fantastic educator.
Hello, Mary Moore Family!
I am so excited to join the Texan community as a member of the Kindergarten team! I could tell right away that this is a special school filled with special people.
Fifth grade found me in a Kindergarten classroom during most recess periods and from that point on, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Since graduating from Baylor, I have taught 3rd grade, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten for a total of 21 years. Spending days with young learners makes me happy.
Allan (my husband of 30 years) and I recently moved from Corpus Christi when he accepted a job with a private foundation that is converting a golf course into a working farm that will be open to the public for family outings, school field trips, and community events. Our son Rhys lives in Los Angeles and works for a music management company; in fact, he is currently traveling with a band on tour in Canada and the US. Our daughter Kate is a senior at Texas A&M in College Station and is majoring in agricultural communications and economics. Our younger daughter Emily has served as a state officer with Texas FFA this past year and will attend Baylor this fall. These four (and the dogs!) are my favorites.
My perfect weekend includes family and friends, a movie at the theater with popcorn and an Icee, a good game night with some friendly competition, or a play date with my 2-year-old friend Gray. I relax by reading, antiquing and junking, completing word and jigsaw puzzles, and walking. Now that we’re on a farm, I want to start a garden and establish beehives.
Again, I’m thrilled to join Mary Moore and partner with you to help your children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. It’s going to be a wonderful year!

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, going on long walks with my family, spinning and watching movies. I also love a big cup of coffee and curling up with a new book. I love working with children and helping them reach their goals! I am beyond thrilled to be joining the Mary Moore Family!!

I grew up in Minnesota and moved to Texas to attend TCU (Go Frogs!). I graduated with my undergrad and Master’s in education. For the last twelve years, I’ve taught third grade at South Davis.
I live here in Arlington with my sweetheart, Andrew. Andrew runs his own business in electronics recycling. In January of this year, we welcomed our son Lucas. We also have a thirteen year old puggle named Lexi and a pit mix puppy named Pablo. Yes, an infant and a puppy…there’s not too much peace and quiet around our house, but lots of snuggles and wet kisses!
In my free time, I enjoy cooking with Andrew, reading historical fiction and mysteries, taking exercise classes, and watching reruns of The Office. I am a passionate, dedicated teacher and I am looking forward to joining the Mary Moore family.
