Welcome to Kindergarten KA! My name is Ms. Hooven and I can not wait to teach your kindergartener this year. I am very excited to expand and explore their curious, creative, and brilliant minds. We are going to learn so much this year, all while having the best time together as a kindergarten family. 

This is my second year here at Holy Family Regional Catholic School, and I am beyond grateful to be apart of this family. I grew up going to catholic school my entire life, and believe that the values and beliefs we practice each day make the world a better place. I grew up in Warminster PA, where I attended catholic grade school (Nativity of Our Lord), and then made my way next door to the high school (Archbishop Wood High School). I continued my education at Bucks County Community College for a few semesters to earn my associates degree, and then transferred to Holy Family University where I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. 

My favorite place to be is at the beach. I love the sand, the ocean, the seashells, and the feeling of peace I get when I am there. I often times spend my days at the beach with my 2 sisters or my boyfriend. I am the middle sister of 3 girls and its the best thing ever! My sisters are my best friends and we always have the best times together. I met my fiance Matt a few years ago through mutual friends. Together, we love to go on adventures, chase sunsets, watch Philly sports and eat lots of ice cream. I have a beautiful God daughter, Elena Joe who is turning 7 in September. My family is my everything!

I am super excited to get to know each and every one of your children as they also get to know me. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to teach your children this school year and can not wait for all the fun we have in store!
