My name is Linda Barraza. Prior to coming to Cibolo Green, I taught at Roan Forest. I am married with two children. It was just yesterday that I was at my own children's 5th grade end of year ceremony!!

Lu graduated from UT Austin, and has worked in the legal compliance departments for two tech companies in Austin.  He will be attending law school at Washington & Lee this Fall! Amanda graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Entomology (yuck, bugs!), and then stayed on to gain her Master of Public Health. She is now employed at a research company in San Antonio. Since the house was too quiet, we have a  four-legged child, a Yorki-Poo named "Teddy". He will do anything for food, and is sometimes my teaching assistant.

I am originally from Boston, Mass., (although I was actually born in Japan!!) I attended Boston University, then I graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Boston  with a degree in Biology and Psychology (I also took some courses at UMASS-Lowell). I then moved to Texas, where my husband and I ran a small business for 12+years. During that time, I took graduate business courses from UTSA.

After we closed our business, I began spending LOTS of time at my son's school volunteering and subbing. I returned to an early in life dream, and decided on a (third) career in education. I completed my Master of Education (Elementary Education) degree at Wayland Baptist University here in San Antonio. In my "spare" time, I like to read and cook. I love to travel with my family, too.

Every year, I look forward to returning to work with the Cibolo Green Fifth grade team...we have an amazing group of teachers, and we all work together to ensure the success of every student. Your child will work with many, if not all, of the fifth grade teachers.  

This year will be a wonderful one for your child...they will learn, grow, and mature at a pace that is astounding!
