Mrs. Harkcom

My daughter is 6 and this summer she loved visiting the beach, taking dance class and playing with her brother. Sydney is super funny, loves any kind of animal and will be in first grade this year!

My son Rylan is 9 and is going into 4th grade!  He loves Lego, soccer, Minecraft, Pokemon, Mario Bros. and reading lots of different kinds of books.  He is also quite the character and has the best one-liners!  He is my old soul.

Mr. Harkcom and I have been married for 13 years. He works at Amazon as a safety specialist but also has his athletic training license.  We love to visit new restaurants, spend time outdoors and catching up on the latest episodes of Jack Ryan and the Chicago series episodes.

This summer our family adopted a puppy named Ciara (KeeRUH)!  She is super smart and loves to play.  She is getting much better with commands and spends lots of time lounging on the couch.

Claire is my 11-year old tuxedo cat.  She's the quiet one but truly lives by the motto, "If I fits, I sits!"  She also loves a good car ride. 

This is my tiger cat Cole.  He's 10 years old but still thinks he's the baby of the family.  He also LOVES to talk!

Chloe is the youngest cat and is just over a year old.  She's a feisty, gray tiger cat who is truly equal parts sweet and sassy.  She definitely keeps the other two felines on their toes!

I love the beach and everything about it, including the pesky seagulls and sand!  We try to go every summer.  This summer we went to Dewey Beach as a family and I got to visit Hawaii with my mom and sister.

I love art of all kinds and actually had the chance to fulfill a life-long dream of mine of writing and illustrating my own children's book titled "Already Beautiful."

I love painting and drawing!

This is Charlie!  He's our classroom hamster and is such a good little boy.  He loves carrots, stuffing his cheeks full of food and exploring the world in his plastic ball.  


Hi all! My name is Mrs. Harkcom and I am so excited to be your kindergarten teacher! This is my sixteenth  year teaching and I love everything about teaching kindergarten!   I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education from Millersville University and my Master's Degree in Reading from Kutztown University.  I am currently going back to school for yet another Bachleor's degree in Communication Design.  I hope to add "art teacher" to my list of certifications.  I will be bringing lots of fun art activities back to the classroom when I return in January!

I was born and live in the Lehigh Valley area with my husband, 9-year old son, Rylan and 6-year old daughter, Sydney. We also have 5 furry babies, 1 puppy Ciará, 3 cats Claire, Cole and Chloe and Charlie the hamster who gets to split his time between my home and the classroom! We love to be outside and this summer took trips to the beach, the pool and the playground. We also love to watch sports and can be found cheering on the Phillies and Nittany Lions.

These are a few of my FAVORITE things!

It's going to be a wonderful year!

:-) Mrs. Harkcom
