Lacey Flowers, Bilingual Kindergarten
This will be my 13th year teaching Bilingual Kindergarten at Matzke.
I was born and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I moved to Houston where I attended and graduated from Cypress Creek High School. I received a B.A. in Dance and a Minor in Spanish from Texas Tech University. I have three children who all attended Matzke, Braxton 21, who attends The University of Texas and is on the Men’s Swimming and Diving Team, my twin girls, Sophie and Cali 16, who attend Cypress Creek High School. I also teach classical ballet. I enjoy reading and spending time with my children.

Lisa Peraza, Kindergarten
My name is Lisa Peraza. This is my 13th year working in the Cy Fair District and my 9th year to teach kindergarten. I also taught 3rd grade for 4 years. I have been married to my husband, Oscar, for 30 years and I am a graduate of Texas A & M University. I have 3 children. Erin, who lives in Boston, Evan, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida and Eric lives here in Houston. This summer I gained another daughter when my son married Julia. I love to travel, mountain bike, jog and garden. I so enjoy teaching 5 and 6 year olds. I love to watch them learn to read and write. They learn so much in just one year and are different kids when kindergarten is over.
