Miss Murray

Welcome to 2nd grade at Prairieland where it's always a great day to be a cougar!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself!  I was born and raised in Bloomington/Normal.  I attended District 87 schools for elementary grades and then went to Holy Trinity (now Corpus Christi) for middle school.  I graduated from Central Catholic before attending Illinois Wesleyan where I earned my bachelors degree in Educational Studies.  I also have a masters degree in curriculum and instruction which I earned from Nova Southeastern University.  Teaching was something I've wanted to do since I was young.  Perhaps it is due to the influence I've had before me--a great grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and 3 cousins--are all were/are in the education field!

I come from a very athletic and competitive family.  While at Illinois Wesleyan I was a member of the softball team where I was a pitcher.  One year we went to the Women's College World Series where we placed 3rd!  I also play volleyball during the summer too. Teaching is one of the things I love, but I also LOVE the CHICAGO CUBS!!  Season tickets to the Cubs games are on my lifetime wish list! :)



If you ever have questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask!  It is a pleasure to be working with you--our journey will be a fun, memorable one!
