Mrs. Harkins Grade 3
Welcome back to school! Where has the summer gone? I can't wait to get started. This will be my 26th year of teaching in New Prague and my 36th year of teaching all together. Wow! As the saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun!"
Prior to teaching in New Prague, I also taught 4th, 5th, and 6th grade for 10 years at Our Lady of the Prairie School in Belle Plaine. I grew up in Belle Plaine and went to the College of Saint Benedict to earn my teaching degree. I also have a Master's Degree in Education from Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN.
My husband Clint and I, have three children, Patrick (33), Emily (31), and Kaylee (17). Clint, Kaylee, and I live in Le Center. Patrick lives in Northfield and works for Medtronic. Emily lives in Norwood Young America and works at
StarsEarly Learning Academy as a preschool teacher. Kaylee will be a senior this school year. She plays on the varsity Volleyball and Track teams, is a member of the National Honor Society and many other school groups, and enjoys spending time with friends. We had a wonderful summer full of remodeling our kitchen, college visits, welcoming my first grandchild (Scarlett), and just spending time with family and friends!
I am anxious to get started on Wednesday! I'll be here waiting for smiles or tears. I am excited to be working with your children and helping them to grow in the academic setting. Let me know if I can ever be of any help
or answer any questions that you may have.
