Meet The Teacher

My name is Ms. Harris-Ridker and I am so excited to be a 5th grade teacher at Middleton!  As an alumna of McCracken, it is wonderful to be back in the district as a teacher and get to work with some of my favorite teachers from when I was in middle school!  

I graduated from the College of Wooster in Ohio in 2014 where I studied Religion and Education. I then worked at a non-profit, called Literature for All of Us, where I facilitated book groups for youth and adults.  In 2020, I graduated with my masters in teaching from National Louis University.

I live in Chicago and love to cook, travel, and take long walks by the lake with my dog, Tillie.
