Meet Our Third Grade DLI Teachers

Señor Luna

"¡Hola a todos y todas!" Mi nombre es Oscar Luna. I am thankful and happy for being part of the Weddington Family. 

I was born in Cali, a beautiful city in an amazing country named Colombia. Cali is full of magic and music, that’s why I love dancing to music!! 

Señor Duitama

"¡Hola a todos!" I am Jose Duitama and I am 34 years old.  I was born in Guican a small but beautiful town in the Cordillera Oriental with beautiful mountains and snow. I graduated from the Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnologica de Colombia in 2011 as Licenciado en Idiomas Modernos Español - Inglés. Teaching is my passion. One of my favorite things about it is the astonishment of every student when we understand something new and the best part of it is when they create something meaningful with their findings.

Mrs. Wallon, 3rd Grade English Co-Teacher

I’m originally from Syracuse, NY, and 29 years ago, I married my best friend, Ray Wallon.  We went to high school and college together and have 4 children.  Rachel (26) will be leaving in October to teach in South Korea,, Natalie (24) is working and living remotely in Denver, Rob (23) bought a one-way ticket to Hawaii and will be working remotely there. Regan (21) is a senior at East Carolina majoring in marketing.   We were enjoying our empty nest….until COVID.   When I’m not at school, I love to travel in our RV van, spend time with family, hike, camp, and read. This is my 23rd year teaching.  I’ve taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades all in this building as well as English for the DLI program!!!  I’m very excited about this year and feel blessed to be a part of the DLI program here at Weddington.
