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 28th year of teaching. I am thrilled to be in my fourth 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 just got married this summer, so exciting! Our older daughter loves animals and works at The Farm at Flint Creek in West Point. Our youngest two are at McCutcheon and active in basketball, volleyball, and 4H. As a family, we love camping, playing games, riding bikes, and spending time with our farm animals (we have 1 beagle, 1 chinchilla, 3 house cats, 3 barn cats, 9 goats, 3 horses, and 52 chickens!). I look forward to sharing a great year with our classroom family!
