About the teacher

My name is Cindy Looze and this is my 20th year teaching, 12 here at Hopewell, 10 in 6th grade Science. I have a Bachelors degree in Radio/TV/Film from North Texas State University (now called UNT). I recieved my teacher certification after another two years of college at University of Texas Austin. Hook em Horns!

This summer I took a 200 hour yoga teacher certification course, and I just have a few make up hours to go before I am nationally certified to teach yoga. I found that yoga and meditation quiet the mind and calm the stress of day to day life. My motto: Just Breathe! In fact the group that trained me is called Breath for Change, and it is specifically designed for educators.

I have two grown sons, a long haired Dachshund named Captain Kirk, and a pet rabbit has joined my classroom this year! Her name is Eleven (or Elle) named after the show Stranger Things. The kids love to hold her and pet her. Hopefully she will be a calming and soothing presence when we just need a little animal love!

I look forward to having a great year with this group!
