Mrs. Clousing

Dear Students,

  I am looking forward to working with you this year.  This year will be my 21st year of teaching and 16th year in District 157c.  A little bit about myself... I have been married for 20 years to my husband Roger, we have two beautiful girls Hanna (17) and Kaitlyn (14). We have one dog (Maverick) that we adopted from PAWS on May 12, 2024. We live on a horse farm with, 11 chickens, 1 Duck (Spice),  2 Beehives, and 1 horse (Lexy).   As you can tell we are true animal lovers. 

I have been teaching ELA my entire career. My favorite series of books are of course the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.  I even have floating candles in my classroom.  It's MAGICAL...  I hope to inspire all of you to love reading. 

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at anytime. [email protected]
