Hello Royal Ridge Families! I am Celina Cannon, and this is my 20th year teaching, but my 8th year in NEISD/Royal Ridge. I grew up in Judson ISD, and graduated from Judson HS. I then received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementarty Education, from Southwestern A/G University. I absolutely love what I do because I absolutely love working with children. I don't see this as a "job," it's my calling. My passion/goal every year in teaching, is to make a difference in the life of a child. 

First and foremost, I put God first in my life. Everything else falls after, which leads straight into my family. Some of you may know me as "Ms. Rubio," but I got remarried in 2020, so my name changed! I am beyond blessed with an amazing husband, who loves meeting my classes and loves to be involved when he can. The class will hear and see a lot of Mr. Brett. We are the proud parents of four. Our oldest, is my son EJ, who is a Senior this year. He's in Varsity orchestra at school, and is always willing to try new things. My middle child Ciera is a Junior, and she's my soccer girl. She's in club soccer, and plays Varsity soccer for Roosevelt. My baby Chloe, is a Freshjman and she's a JV cheerleader. My bonus son is Brody, and he's in fifth grade in Hondo, TX and he's also very involved in sports. Their activities keep me a busy mommy, but I love it. My family is my whole world, and I count my blessings daily. 

I am also very into sports because that is how I grew up. My favorite sport to play is softball. I also love supporting my husband's military softball team he coaches, and the recreational softball teams he plays on . My fave teams to watch are the Dallas Cowboys, TX Rangers or Houston Astros (my husband is a Yankees fan). My favorite sport to watch on TV is basketball, which leads me to my favorite team: our SA SPURS!!! I am one of those crazy fans; one of the biggest fans! I love my team, even though there have been so many changes, and it's a little harder to watch. Go Spurs Go!

I look forward to a wonderful year with your child! I will always be here for you and your child. I love what I do; I love building relationships, not just with my students, but their families; I love making memories and having fun in class; I love Kindergarten! This is my heart! I am beyond excited for what's in store!
