Hello! And Welcome to the 2020 - 2021 school year. My name is Miss Kowalski and I am overjoyed to be starting my first year teaching here at TCA. It means so much to be back at the school I attended when I was in elementary school/middle school. I cannot wait to start the year off!
Me and everyone at TCA is excited to learn and grow with the students. I will provide a safe and open environment working hard to fulfill all students' needs. My goal is to have a fun and SAFE year. I look forward to working with you all :)
A little about me
I graduated from TCA in 2010 and then attended La Salle Peru Township High School graduating in 2014. After that, I attended Illinois State University to get my Bachelors in Elementary Education. After graduating ISU in the fall of 2019, I substitute taught for Ottawa, Oglesby, Mendota, and La Salle school districts. I am extremely happy to now have a class of my own and start my career that I have been passionate about for a long time.
