Hello! My name is Kathy Ryan. This is my second year teaching in the Lincolnshire-Prairieview School District. I am very excited for the new school year and will be splitting my time at both Half Day and Laura Sprague School. I live with my husband Kevin, and we have three children ages 9 and 11 (twins). After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in Social Policy, I received my master's degree from National Louis University in Special Education. Over the past twenty years, I have been in and out of the teaching profession while raising my family. I have taught kindergarten through fifth grade at Franklin School in Park Ridge and middle school at Washburne School in Winnetka. When I am not working or spending time with my children, I enjoy photography and running.
