My name is Kate Downey and this is my fourth year teaching second grade with the Chippewa Falls School District. I love teaching here at Hillcrest! The students are awesome, the staff is great and the community rocks!
I am originally from Watertown, Wisconsin but attended college at UW Eau Claire. After graduation my husband and I lived in a few towns in central Wisconsin before moving to Chippewa Falls. We have two children and are so excited to raise them in the Chippewa Valley!
I love everything about Wisconsin, especially the changing seasons. Fall is my favorite! I do enjoy Pumpkin Spice Lattes but not as much as watching the Packers. My husband and I have been to many games at Lambeau Field. It's on if my favorite places!
I am also a HUGE fan of Harry Potter! I love the details in the books but mostly I love them because Harry and I are the same age. After taking the Pottermore quiz, I was sorted into Hufflepuff. I will admit I was a little disappointed that it wasn't Gryffindor, but the Sorting Hat knows best so I wear my Hufflepuff hat with pride! Yes, I've read the series multiple times and plan to read it to my own children when they are old enough.
Thanks for stopping by!
