Hello! I am Mrs. Harrington, and I am so glad that you are a part of our class this year! I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. To start, I am so excited to be teaching fourth grade this year! This is my 15th year teaching but ninth year teaching fourth grade here at Liberty Elementary. I taught fifth grade one year and four years at Hobart Middle School teaching sixth grade language arts and social studies, two subjects I absolutely LOVE! I have also helped start and run a program called Natural Helpers at our middle school and was one of the sponsors for FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) at the high school.I grew up in Valparaiso and went to Valparaiso High School. For college, I graduated from Indiana University (go Hoosiers!!!), and I finished my masters degree in administration from Indiana State University. I have been married for eleven years to my wonderful husband, Ryan. We have a 7 year old son named Connor and a four year old named Reed. We absolutely love them!! I am very close to my parents who live in Valparaiso. I have a brother and sister, and they each have two children in grade school. My family is all very close.
In my free time I love to be outside and being in or around water. I love kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking, swimming in the summer, and snow skiing in the winter. I really enjoy traveling to new places. I spent the summer learning to be a mom and raced in my first triathlon. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching movies, listening to music, and reading.
I am looking forward to a great year full of learning!
