Over the years, she earned the following awards: the George Bush Library Outstanding Educator, the Johnson Elementary Teacher of the Year, Bryan ISD Teacher of the Month, Grade Level Leader, and the Johnson Leadership Team. Her students had consistently high scores on standardized tests earning Johnson Elementary numerous “Commended Performance” designations in Science.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Gary Sanchez.

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Robinson’s passing. I was in her 5th grade class in 2002-2003. She was one of my favorite teachers ever and went above and beyond in her roles in the classroom to help me in a particularly difficult transitional period of my life.
She was an excellent teacher, and I’m sure had no small part in growing my own passion for STEM education as I became a science teacher and am now a STEM coordinator in Dallas. I have no doubt you will hear about her impact as an educator endlessly over the next few weeks, she was truly one of the very best.
My condolences to you in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Sarah Losoya (Sarah Haynes)
Mrs. Robinson was one of my favorite teachers growing up! She even encouraged me to go into teaching once I reached the college level. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in May of 2021. Thanks to her, many Johnson alumni are thriving in their educational career.
My condolences to the family during this difficult time.
This is sad news for the Hall family. Mrs. Robinson had a wonderful impact on both Jonathan and Gregory at the BEST elementary school, Johnson Elementary in Bryan. She will be missed but fondly remembered by many Johnson families. Bless you, Mrs Robinson, as you pass on and enter heaven. Prayers of comfort for her family
Becky,
