Enrollment for current families is now open for the 2025-2026 school year. We would be delighted to have you join us again next year at CONNECT!
Mrs. Farris
My husband, Ethan, and I have been married for almost 10 years. We have three precious children. I have a Master’s degree in Educational Technology & School Library Media and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Oklahoma State University. I am certified in Elementary Education & School Library. I taught first grade for three years in Putnam City and loved every minute of it. I then moved in to the Library Media Specialist role at the same school for a year. As a school librarian, I taught Literacy & STEM lessons to Pre-K through 5th grade students.
This will be my 5th year teaching at Connect Co-op! I am passionate about Early Childhood and love teaching all things PreK-1st! I am so thankful the Lord has given me the opportunity to continue serving and teaching in this way.
Mrs. T
My name is Mrs. T and I am so excited to join the Connect community this school year! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Business Administration from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2015. Shortly after, I began teaching first grade in Putnam City for eight years and then moved to teach at the Academy of Classical Christian Studies. I have been married for 7 years to my loving husband, Tyler. We have one daughter, Londyn, who just celebrated her first birthday. I am very passionate about teaching and fostering a classroom community where every student feels a sense of belonging. I look forward to partnering with you to make it a wonderful year!
Mrs. Burton
Connect Co-op Director
In 2012 I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Spanish. I am also certified in Early Childhood Education. In 2015 I married my college sweetheart, Jacob. We have three wonderful kiddos. Before teaching at Connect, I taught for 7 years in the public-school setting. I’ve taught 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 5th grade. This will be my 7th year at Connect!
I have loved teaching at Connect and getting to teach a smaller group of students. I know Connect Co-op’s setting provides a wonderful way to build relationships and meet each student’s individual needs. I look forward to working with your students in meaningful and engaging ways. I have a passion for teaching and education. I am excited to be teaching the oldest age group again and can’t wait to see them flourish and grow in the 2025– 2026 school year.
