Meet Ms. Burke
Hello First Grade Families and Friends,
My name is Ms. Burke and I am so excited to be a part of the first grade team this year. I grew up across McCormick in Evanston, Illinois and went to college in St. Louis, Missouri at Washington University in St. Louis. After graduating in 2009, I began teaching on the South Side of Chicago where I taught kindergarten for two years. For the past four years, I have been teaching in East Chicago, Indiana. This will be my second year at Middleton.

I love to sing and play guitar. I used to be in community musicals in high school and enjoy bringing music into the classroom.
I also like to run. Last year I ran the Chicago Marathon to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to support my nephew who has Type 1.
Mostly, I love to hang out with my family and my goofy dog Gus! I'm so excited to be at Middleton this year and can't wait to learn more about each of you!
