Hello! I am Mrs. O'Reilly. I am a hometown girl who graduated from Putnam County. I graduated from Truman State University in Kirksville with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Education. I taught sixth grade at Milan for one year before returning to Putnam County where I have taught for the last 26 years. When I began teaching at PC, I taught fifth grade for about eight years before moving to third grade. This fall marks my return to fifth grade after almost 20 years as a third grade teacher.

My family and I live on a farm where we enjoy fishing, four-wheeler riding, and sledding in the winter. My husband and I have four children and one granddaughter. In my spare time, I love to read and sit on my grandmother's porch swing. I am a Mizzou Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals fan. I also enjoy going to flea markets and auctions. I love to find priceless "junk", and I love to repurpose and revive my junkin' finds.
