A bit about me!

    Hello! My name is Heather Ford and I am one of the kindergarten teachers here at Riverdale! I am a graduate of DeKalb High School and a college graduate of Tri-State University, also known as Trine. I have taught for 7 years. I have taught kindergarten for the past five years. My first year of teaching was spent at Butler Elementary in second grade. After teaching at Butler, I came to Riverdale as an instructional assistant. I left for a while to teach first grade at Waterloo Elementary, and now I'm back!!!
     I am married to my husband Jake. We have been married for six years. We welcomed our first child this past March. He has be such an awesome addition to our family, and we love watching him grow! We have two pets, which are very spoiled. Tucker is our dog; he is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Our cat's name is Arnie.
    In my spare time I enjoy playing games, gardening, camping, playing soccer, spending time with family and friends, and hunting with my dad and sister!
     I love teaching and impacting the lives of others! It's going to be a wonderful year!
