Ms. Lee Sexton
Library Media Specialist
I love reading! And I love being your child's librarian. We read so many fanciful stories together and share stories about good friends, like Senior Panda, Elephant and Piggie, and the one and only Pete the Cat! I hope you enjoy the many characters from our library as you are reading with your child every night.
This is my 18th year in education. I have a Masters of Education in Teaching from the University of Texas at Arlington. I taught 4th grade reading and writing for eleven years at Fort Worth ISD before returning to the University of North Texas master's program in library media science in 2015.
My mission is to help students to fall in love with reading!

Mr. Joe Gonzales
Physical Education and Wellness Coordinator
Hi y’all. Coach Joe here. I am the P.E. teacher/Wellness Coordinator here at Sam Rosen. This is my 18th year as a teacher at FWISD, and my 6th year here at Sam Rosen. One of my passions is teaching my students the benefits of leading an active and healthy lifestyle. My favorite thing about teaching P.E. is that I have the opportunity to get to know every student at our school. However, the thing that I enjoy most is spending time with my wife, my son, family and friends. I enjoy being outdoors, grilling, and watching Dallas Cowboys Football. Go Cowboys!

Ms. Katy Bay
Music
Long before my Texas days, I was born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I attended Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, where I majored in music education. Music has always been a passion of mine; I started playing viola when I was 9 years old and gradually added other instruments to my skillset, including the harp! I started teaching middle school in Loudoun County, Virginia, where I taught both chorus and beginning guitar.
For the past 15 years, I’ve taught elementary music in the HEB ISD. My goal is to instill in my students a lifelong love of learning, especially when it comes to music, and to help develop their musical vocabularies. I love to travel–and the best part of traveling is finding local coffee places and bakeries! I also practice photography, love to run, always have a book nearby, and watch sports whenever I get the chance. I am excited to be starting at Fort Worth ISD and look forward to meeting all my new coworkers and our great kids!

Ms. Ileana Gamez
P.E. Teacher Assistant
My name is Ileana Gámez. I have the great honor of being a part of the Sam Rosen family this school year as the new PE Teacher Assistant. I was born in Monterrey, Mexico and I was raised in Dallas, Texas. I went to school at HEB ISD and graduated from L. D. Bell High School in 2019. I attended Texas Tech University and I completed part of my student teaching at T. A. Sims Elementary.
A fun fact about me is that I am trilingual. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Italian and I hope to continue to learn more languages in the future. I hope to return to Texas Tech in the future to earn my bachelors in Bilingual Education and have my very own classroom one day. I am excited for this new journey and I am excited to learn many great things that I can implement with my own students in the future. I look forward to an amazing time at Sam Rosen.
