Mrs. Sroufe

Hello Kindergarten Families,

I am thrilled to be your child's teacher at Akin Elementary this year! My name is Cindy Sroufe (pronounced "Shrofe"). I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati and a Masters degree in Curriculum and Supervision from Wright State University. I enjoyed 24 years of teaching kindergarten and first grade in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 2010, my husband's job transfer brought us to Keller, TX where I taught kindergarten and first grade. In 2014, we moved to Round Rock and opened a new elementary school in Manor ISD. Leander ISD is the best place I could ever dream of and I couldn't be happier to be part of Akin Elementary!

My husband, Mike, and I are the joyful parents of two amazing daughters who reside in DFW. Ashley works at Texas Christian University with MBA students and Hillary is a graphic designer. It seems like just a few years ago our girls began kindergarten. Now, our nest only has two feisty terriers at home.

Teaching is one of the greatest joys in life because children have a contagious desire to learn! I will strive to make this year enjoyable and full of powerful learning for each child. I am anxious to get to know each student and help him/her meet educational goals this year. I know you will enjoy watching your child grow in learning too!
