Welcome to Third Grade! My name is Amy Villarreal, and this is my second year teaching third grade at Blackland Prairie Elementary! I have been in the district as an Educational Assistant, Substitute, Volunteer, and as a Mom for 13 years. I graduated from Texas A&M in 1994 with a degree in Speech Communication and a minor in Biology. My husband Omar and I have been married for 24 years and have 5 amazing children. Joshua is 23 and works in Houston (Texas A&M Class of '17), Katie is 21 and is a Senior at Texas A&M, Hannah is 18 and is a Freshman at Texas A&M, Luke is 16 and is Junior at Cedar Ridge High School, and Sophia is 12 and is a 7th grader at Ridgeview Middle School. All of my kids went to Blackland Prairie and followed the feeder schools up through graduation. I don't have much spare time, but when I get a minute, I love to take walks, see movies, and spend time with my family. In the summers, my favorite place to go is the lake. I also am a Core Team member of the high school youth ministry program of my church. I truly love this community and feel so blessed to have been a part of it for so many years. I look forward to a wonderful year with you!
