My name is Jody Siegel and I will be your first grade teacher this year! I joined Lyon School in 2012, and I cannot wait to start another school year with you in first grade! To tell you a little about my background, I grew up here in Glenview, went on to become a proud Iowa Hawkeye at the University of Iowa, received my Masters degree from Northeastern Illinois University, and I am now so lucky to be a part of the District 34 family!
This summer, I have been gearing up to get back to school, finally visiting with my out of town family, snuggling with my big pup, Moose, and enjoying many little outdoor adventures. Most of all, my husband, Dustin, and I have been enjoying every moment with our new baby boy, Zachary (~8 months). We have made sure to take him to see all of the most important spots around town, like Lyon School, Heinens, The Glen, Roosevelt Park, Wagner Farm and of course to Dairy Bar!
First grade will be a blast, and you will learn so much! Get ready to transform into proud readers, authors, mathematicians, scientists, engineers, researchers, artists, inventors, and so much more! Best of all, you will become a great friend to so many new people. Our class and Lyon School is the perfect place for you--exactly where you belong!
I am so excited to meet you and get to know you all this year! Love, Mrs. Siegel
