Mrs. Milas & Mrs. Zinn's

1st Grade!

Hi! We are the 1st grade job-sharing team of Mrs. Debbie Milas and Mrs. Jennifer Zinn. We are excited to be your child's teachers this year. We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about ourselves.

Mrs. Milas - I have taught 1st grade for 28 years, with the last 21 being at Heritage Lakes School. I have my Bachelors Degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, with my area of concentration in Developmental Reading and earned my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, from National Louis University. I love Disney, Notre Dame football and the Chicago White Sox. My husband and I are the proud parents of three wonderful children – Johnny who is a sophomore at DePaul University, Jimmy who is 14 and is starting high school and Abby who is 8 and in 3rd grade.

Mrs. Zinn - I am a former District #93 student and have been teaching for 25 years. I earned my Degree in Elementary Education, with my specialty being in Reading from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National Louis University. In my free time, I enjoy singing for weddings and special events. I also love cheering on the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, reading, musical theater, swimming, bike riding, photography and traveling. My husband and I are the proud parents of our 12-year-old son, Adam and our 9-year-old son Aaron.
