            Ms. Cruz      Ms. Letty Cruz, Intervention Specialist for 8th Grade

    My name is Letty Cruz. I have been with the district for almost 8 yrs! I am married to my wonderful best friend of 15 yrs. I have a daughter from a previous union, who is a senior this year and just turned 18 this summer! My daughter is the love of my life, who since her birth, we have thanked God for her being our little medical miracle, born almost 2 months early! It is because of our miracle that I chose to work with children of all ages. My Bachelor's in Social Work from Texas Women's University, prepared me academically; however, God prepared me physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, to grow in my faith, as well as my profession. I have almost 40 years of professional experience working with families and children. In 2010, I completed a Masters in Arts in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation, from Abilene Christian University. My life's work and my experience give me a unique edge in working with our LMS students and families. My goal at Leonard is simple: to help any student in need, who may face challenges; academically, socially or emotionally, and give them the support they need to succeed!
