Welcome to my page! My name is Mrs. Garrett. I began teaching first grade at LaSalle school in 2013. I decided to go back to school to become a teacher while I was still expanding my family, so it took me a little longer than your typical college graduate:) It wasn't easy, but I earned my Associates degree in 2011 from Illinois Central College, and in 2013, I earned my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Illinois State University. I am married and have three children of my own, so I can really empathize with parents regarding their children and the education they receive. Teaching is a dream come true for me, so thank you for letting me teach your child.
