Rachel: Afternoon Closer
My name is Rachel Kral and I’m so excited to be back at Park Street. Previously, I was a 4th grade teacher at Taft Intermediate School. In my free time I love hanging out with my husband and our 3 year old daughter, Grace. We like to go camping, walk our two dogs, and play at Brookside Park! Also, I enjoy reading, and cooking with my dad. I am so excited to be here, and let’s have a great time together!
Allie: Afternoon Closer
Hi! My name is Allie Heckman! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who loves working with children. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and explore while creating a fun and welcoming environment for everyone. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy showing goats, being involved in FFA, and spending time with my family and friends. I’m looking forward to getting to know each child and helping make their days happy, fun, and full of learning!
