Kindergarten (full day)

Becky Hankes

I attended Kaneland Schools throughout my youth. I am a proud graduate of Northern Illinois University, class of May 2007. At NIU I received my teaching certificate for Elementary Education. While at NIU I was involved in many organizations including Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity, Relay For Life, and the Honors Program.

I have always had a passion to teach kindergarten. Through school I was able to work in kindergarten classrooms at Kaneland and Rochelle. I student taught at Sycamore North in kindergarten for a semester. Since graduating last May, I have been teaching kindergarten at a DeKalb daycare. I am looking forward to this new, exciting experience at Holy Cross!

My favorite hobbies are playing tennis and photography. If I'm not doing these things in my spare time, I am probably reading, traveling, or just spending time with friends and family.

Teaching at Holy Cross will be a whole new experience for me. I will be able to teach the word of God, along with the daily academics that I am used to teaching. It is exciting also, that I get to be a part of this new experience for all of the Holy Cross community. I cannot wait to meet everyone and start this new journey at Holy Cross!
