Meet Ms.Loughridge

A little bit about me!

I was born and raised in Hillsboro, MO. I attended Hillsboro R3 school district from Kindergarten-12 grade. I am proud to come back and be a part of such a great community again. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Missouri (UMSL), where  I recieved a BS in Elementary Education. In March, 2023, I became certified in Early Childhood Education. 

I am a mother of two. My son is four years old and has the largest personality! My daughter is 2 years old and growing everyday. I hold family very closely, and we love nothing more than spending time doing things together. 

In my free time I like to spend as much time as possible with my very large family, and friends. I am constantly finding home projects to do and I love DIY (ing) things. I enjoy being outside but I do not get along with all of the insects that live there. If given the choice, I like to be on the water more than land. However, I love my backyard and the little oasis that we have created. Some of my hobbies are crocheting fuzzy blankets, drinking coffee, and creating holiday themed gifts. 

Personal Beliefs

There is a misconception that some people are not 'readers,' and I strive to teach students that everyone is capable of learning reading and writing. I see social studies as a story about how we came to where we are today. It is filled with amazing moments of inspiration, strength, tragedy, and learning opportunities. 

I believe communication between parents, students, and teachers is key to success within our classroom. I encourage you to reach out to me at anytime, regarding your child. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you this year, and getting to know your learners.
