My name is Tonita Barajas and I am so excited for this brand new school year with your students. As a Liberty Alum myself, I am very happy to be back as the 2nd/3rd grade teacher. Alongside Mrs. Lundy (2nd) and Mrs. Tunzi (3rd), I know this is going to be an amazing year for our students.

I was born and raised in Petaluma, and attended my K-12 school years first at Liberty School, then Petaluma Junior High, and lastly Petaluma High School. I played soccer throughout my entire childhood and badminton while in high school. I still enjoy playing both sports with my family and friends. My favorite pastimes are spending time with my family, traveling to new places, attending concerts, and taking care of my pets (a cat, sheep, frog, and fish).

I have worked at Liberty school for a few years now. I began as an aide in sixth grade while I earned a BA in Psychology from Sonoma State University. Later, became part of the Liberty Summer School team. Then I was a student teacher in both sixth and first grade as I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from University of San Francisco. This will be my second year as an elementary school teacher. My first year I taught sixth grade at McDowell Elementary School.

This is going to be a wonderful school year, Mrs. Dee, our classroom aide and I are looking forward to working with your students.
