Hello and welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  My name is Amy Hejnicki and I am very excited to be teaching 2nd grade at Carroll again this year!  I am a native Texan and I attended Texas A&M University which is where I met my husband, Mark.  I taught 1st grade for 7 years in Carrollton before spending some time at home with my kids.  I worked at Carroll for 4 years as a substitute teacher and aide before returning to work full time 10 years ago.  Mark and I have 3 kids.  Kyle is a graduate of Texas A&M University and he is a teacher/coach at Canyon Lake High School in the Texas Hill Country.  He and his wife, Lauren, live in Bulverde where she works at her family's home building business.  They welcomed a baby girl in March making us grandparents!  Kathryn graduated from Texas A&M In May and Is starting a career as a middle school math teacher in Bryan, Texas. Courtney graduated from Wakeland High School in May and will attend Texas A&M In the fall.  She'll be studying kinesiology with a dance science track.  As you can tell, we've made Texas A&M a family tradition!  I enjoy reading,  relaxing with family, traveling and  making trips  to Aggieland for football games or to Bulverde to see little Lucille.  I am looking forward to an amazing year working with your precious children!  We're going to make it a great year!
