Hello everyone! My name is Jen Tilley and I am very excited to share this learning journey with you and your child. I think it is important that you know a bit about me considering I will be spending a lot of time with your child throughout the school year! I am happy to begin my 29th year of teaching. I am thrilled to be in my fifth year as a Cole Cub!!! I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Elementary Education and a Kindergarten Endorsement. I have also earned my Master's Degree from Indiana Wesleyan in Elementary Education. On a personal note, my husband and I have four children. Our oldest son and his wife had a baby girl this summer, and I am so excited to love our grandbaby! Our oldest daughter loves animals and works as a groomer at Smoochie Pooch in Lafayette. Our youngest two children are at McCutcheon. As a family, we love camping, playing games, and spending time with our farm animals (we have 2 dogs, 1 chinchilla, 3 house cats, 3 barn cats, 9 goats, 3 horses, and 45 chickens!). I look forward to sharing a great year with our classroom family!
