Mrs. Perkowski

This is my 27th year at Walker School, and I have loved teaching 2nd grade all these years! I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in elementary education. I have a Master's Degree in early childhood education from Northern Illinois University plus 45 graduate hours in a variety of subject areas. I have served on many school and district committees and enjoy supervising high school interns and student teachers. Mixing it up with the after school Book Cook Club is great fun!

Hinsdale has been my home for 30 years. My husband and I raised three sons and we now have two grandchildren who bring us immense joy! We love to travel and spend time with our family. I like to run, bike and walk for exercise, read and knit to relax.

Second graders make my day everyday. I delight in their enthusiasm for learning new things, eagerness for achieving goals, amazing rate of progress and of course, their animated kickball games!
