About Mrs. Kopoulos

Meet Ms. Kopoulos! 

Fun Facts: I have been teaching for 9 years, and have been at Pennoyer for 6 years. I have spent all 6 years at Pennoyer teaching 4th grade. In addition to that, I am the Science Department Chair, run Visibility Club with Sarah Adkins, and work lunch duty daily. I have my endorsements in ESL (English Second Language), Reading, Social Studies, and Science. As of December 2024, I am officially a National Board Certified Teacher! This is an honor that approximately 5% of teachers in Illinois have. 

Other Fun Facts: I just got married on October 7th, 2023 and my husband is a Pennoyer alumni himself! I have two amazing sisters who I enjoy spending time and traveling with. I love working out and being active! Going on walks, and spending time at the Farmers Market are some of my favorite things to do. Another passion of mine is being a Taylor Swift fan! This is something many students know about me. I attended her Era's Tour in June of 2023, and also just saw her again in Dublin in June of 2024, and in November of 2024. Taylor Swift is our classroom theme this school year. She has a lot of wonderful lessons in her lyrics about treating people kindly and loving yourself. I think that's powerful to tie into our classroom community this school year. 

I am so excited to work with your children, and am looking forward to a fantastic school year together.
