Experience: I have been teaching for 30 years in grades 2-6. Most of my experience has been working with gifted students in Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi and Texas.

In my current position as Math Coach, I provide support to the math teachers grades PK-5.

I taught Sunday School in my early teens and from the age of 11 enjoyed babysitting because I loved being with young children. I have taught twice in the Crowley ISD – once at Deer Creek Elementary and then later at Dallas Park Elementary. I spent 11 years at Southwest Christian School where my experience was varied – 1st grade, 3rd grade, preschool, and even one year of 6th grade. I cannot express how delighted I am to be a part of Lily B. Clayton. I had been investigating openings even before I was hired in 2007. I am grateful that just the right opening at the right time became available. It is wonderful to work in my neighborhood, becoming acquainted with children and parents that live near by. I have been married for 34 years to Larry Falcone. We have a daughter, Lisa, who works downtown at a law firm, a son, Michael, who attends Paschal High School, and a cat, Dixie, who you will never see if you come to my house – VERY anti-social! We are active members of McKinney Memorial Bible Church. Email: kristi.falcone@fwisd.org Page Updated: June 27, 2011 | Suzy Parchman - Librarian Education: • BA in English from UT Austin 1982

Bio: As a faculty member and a parent of three former Lily B. students, I treasure our school’s rich sense of history and tradition. I appreciate the opportunity to serve such a vital academic community in such a beautiful spot. Our teachers, students, parents and administrators are just some of the reasons I LOVE Sweet Lily B!
