My name is Laura Harris. This will be my third year teaching fourth grade, and I am loving it! This is my 29th year in District 204. I have taught third and first grade, too! I have two kids. My son, TJ, is a Junior at the University of Dayton. My daughter, Kayla, is a freshman at Carthage College. I am busy at home caring for my new puppy, Bentley! 

My name is William Lia.  This is my 26th year at Patterson and my 23rd year teaching 4th grade.  I have three amazing children, Jack (22), Samantha (19), and Ryan (16).  Outside of school, I love hanging out with my family and watching Bear's games.

My name is Priyanka Zutshi. This is my eighth year at Patterson and my seventh year teaching fourth grade. I graduated with my bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Illinois, and I am currently working on getting my ESL endorsement. Outside of school I love to read, travel, and spend time with my friends and family!
