About the Teacher
Hello!! My name is Holly Schwuchow and I am beyond thrilled that your child is in my class! We are going to have a great year together. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I was born and raised in Noblesville, Indiana, which is relatively close to Indianapolis. I met my husband, John, at Indiana University, where we both graduated with degrees in Elementary Education. We lived in Northwest Indiana for a while, where I taught 2nd and 3rd grades. However, once our son, Christopher, arrived we decided that it would be best for me to stay home. I enjoyed every moment of staying at home for those nine years! During those nine years we also moved to Rockton, IL and welcomed our daughter, Gracie. Chris is now a big 5th grader at Kinnikinnick and Gracie is now a 1st grader at Ledgewood. They are my pride and joy! Last year Gracie and I went back to school together. I was so excited and I felt so fortunate to have the opportunity to hop back to the wonderful profession of teaching! I taught 3rd grade in Pecatonica last year and I was so honored to become a part of the wonderful Kinnikinnick School District this summer.
In addition to teaching, I love simply spending time with my family, exercising (yes, I'm one of those strange people that enjoys it), running, reading, attempting to cook, and watching my kids in their activities.
I'm looking forward to sharing each day with your child! My goal is always for them to feel appreciated, valued, accepted, encouraged and loved so that they can reach their highest social, emotional, and academic potentials! We are going to have a great year! Please never hesitate to contact me with any concern or question. Your child's happiness and success is extremely important to me. Let's work together to make this an amazing year! :)
