Hello Dolphin family! My name is Sonny Cruz, and I am really excited to be teaching Kindergarten this year. Kindergarten is a special time where we get to see so much growth and development in our kiddos and I am so glad that I get to be a part of it. 

This is my first year teaching full-time but I have substituted for two years and did a year of student teaching in elementary classrooms as well. One semester being in kindergarten and one semester in fourth grade. 

I graduated from The University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Education and I loved every part of my college experience. I am originally from Waco TX, (East Waco) to be more specific, and I also attended McLennan Community College where I completed an Associates Degree in Education (EC-12 Generalist) and an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts at the same time.

In my free time I enjoy doing anything that involves being outdoors and spending time with my girlfriend Olivia. That includes, but is not limited to fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, running, playing golf/disc golf, basketball, baseball, football, or just hanging out in a hammock with a book. Olivia and I also like to take walks and go on runs in our neighborhood and while we don't have any kids yet, we have some plant babies together that we take care of.
