"A teacher affects eternity; he can never

tell where his influence stops." 

~Henry Brooks Adams

Hi!  My name is Julie Liewehr.  I grew up in Palatine, Illinois.  I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher and love working with children.  After graduating from William Fremd High School in 2004, I enrolled at Illinois State University and joined the Honors Program.  Throughout my college career, I kept myself busy through various extracurricular activities.  I graduated cum laude from Illinois State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education on May 10, 2008.  I received middle school endorsements in mathematics and language arts.

I have spent the past 3 summers working as a camp counselor for the Rolling Meadows Park District where I enjoy teambuilding activities, swimming, and playing games.  Each summer, I look forward to the field trips at the Lincoln Park Zoo and various water parks!  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and having fun outdoors!

I have always known I wanted to be a teacher and am passionate about learning.  I looked forward to coming to school each day because I knew the students would make me smile :)  I have a very energetic personality and love to laugh!  I cannot wait to have a classroom of my very own next year and hope to share everything I have learned with the students!
