Meet Ms. Burke
Hello First Grade Families and Friends. My name is Ms. Burke and I am excited to be a part of the first grade team at Middleton 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 moved back to Chicagoland and taught kindergarten on the South Side for two years. For the past four years, I have been teaching in East Chicago, Indiana. 2015- 2016 will be my first year at Middleton.
I love to sing and play guitar. I was in community musicals in high school (I'm the girl in the blue dress) and love to bring music into the classroom.
I also like to run. Last year, I ran the Chicago Marathon with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's team. I helped raise money to support my nephew who has Type 1 Diabetes and other kids like him!
Mostly, I like hanging out with my family and my goofy dog Gus. I'm so excited to be a part of the Middleton community and can't wait to learn more about each of you!
