Hi! My name is Alia Al-Najjar. I am excited to be starting my second year at Union Park Elementary as a Kindergarten teacher.  I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor's in Speech Language Pathology and I graduated this year with a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction. I grew up in the Middle East and relocated back to the United States after graduating high school. I am married and have four children. In my free time, I love reading, watching TV, play soccer with my boys. During the summers, I love spending time at the pool with my children.
