I'm Mrs. Galaviz, and I am the paraprofessional for our fabulous class. This will be my 15th year working with young children and my 5th year in Kindergarten. I have my associate's degree in early childhood education, and I am a proud Army veteran. 

I have two children that are pretty awesome. Ricky is 20 (my man-baby) and is doing great things in engineering. He is currently working to make and improve race car lifts, for dirt track cars-among other things. Lilly will be in 7th grade this year (oh, how time flies!) at UGMS. She has become quite the cellist and enjoys being a part of the orchestra. She also loves to read, excels in school, and is often known to become a favorite among our kindergarten kiddos! Let me not forget my sweet husband, who has tolerated me for 21 years now. He's the best! Because my kiddos are older, we find family time is fleeting; so finding moments together as a family is my favorite thing! 

Some fun facts about me:

-I have 8 chickens, 2 turkeys, and 2 dogs!

-I'm a sucker for a good historical documentary. 

-I have a small garden and each Spring, I bring it to life.

-I love to swim!

-I love antiques! Finding them is like a real-life treasure hunt! 

Each school year brings great excitement. Watching the children learn, grow, and develop throughout the school year will always bring my heart joy, and I can't wait to get started!
