My name is Katherine O’Connor. The kids call me Miss Katie. I
am excited to be joining Ms. Patti teaching the Tuesday/Thursday Threes class
at Knoch Knolls Nature Center. I come to the park district with many years of
experience as a camp counselor. Last year, I was able to teach children horseback
riding to children. I also assisted with many aspects at the Whitehouse Nature
Center in Michigan. I am very excited to share my love for nature with the
students.
