Meet your 4th grade teachers!
Mrs. Harrison has taught 4th grade at Prairie Ridge for 9 years! Eight of those years were in person and one of them she taught the remote fourth graders from across the district. She graduated from Pittsburg State University with her Bachelors in Elementary Education and her Masters in Educational Technology. She lives in Olathe with her husband, Hank, her son, Whitley, and her three (crazy) dogs, DJ, Izzy, and Cooper. Her son Whitley turns 3 in September. She is expecting baby #2 in January! Her favorite things to do are be outdoors with her family, take naps, and watch movies! Her favorite place in the world is Colorado! The best part about teaching is helping her students see the difference they can make in the world and that they can do anything they set their minds to. She is looking forward to year 9 of teaching fourth grade at PRE alongside Mrs. Bockhoff this year! She is so excited to get to be a teacher and a mom! It's the best of both worlds!
Mrs. Bockhoff started her teaching career at Prairie Ridge five years ago in 4th grade. This will be her seventh year teaching. She graduated from William Jewell College with her bachelors in Education and Psychology. She recently graduated with her Masters as a Reading Specialist from Missouri State. Mrs. Bockhoff and her husband, Vinny have a one year old little boy! His name is Everett and is loving lots of family fun this summer. She is due with a baby girl this February! Mrs. Bockhoff enjoys playing with her son, going on walks with her dog Charlie and traveling with her family. Just like Mrs. Harrison, her favorite place to visit is Colorado! She has a passion for teaching and loves to see how much her students grow in their learning. She is thrilled to teach alongside Mrs. Harrison again this year! They make a great team!
