Meet Mrs. Alaniz

 

Happy 2023-24 school year! I am so delighted to be the K4 Teacher.

I have lived in Corpus Christi all my life.

I graduated as the first class of TX A&M University-CC in 1993. Go Islanders!

I am blessed to be married (Rudy) and a mother to two amazing sons (Troy & Aaron) who are married to two amazing ladies (Amanda & Rebekah) and abundantly blessed with 8 beautiful grandchildren (Joseph, Eli, Moriah, Javier, Gabe, Lyndon, and Lukas, Ruby) with another granddaughter due in November. 

This will be my 31st year in education. Most of my years were in public school and I began teaching in the private setting 5 years ago.

I love God and I love my Catholic Faith! My goal is to educate the little ones with all my love! I am looking forward to a wonderful year!

One of my favorite quotes is from Saint Augustine of Hippo (430-543 A.D.)
 
"As Christians, our task is to make daily progress toward God.  Our pilgrimage on earth is a school in which God is the only teacher, and it demands good students, not ones who play truant.  In this school, we learn something every day.  We learn something from commandments, something from examples, and something from sacraments.  These things are remedies for our wounds and materials for study."  
 
"Lord Jesus, fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may listen to your word attentively and obey it joyfully."
