Hello and Welcome to 1st Grade 2022-2023. My name is Ms. Williams. I am extremely excited to be part of the team here at NWE. I was born and raised in Woodstock, IL which is a small town that is close to the Wisconsin border. I come from a HUGE family, having 5 siblings and I am the youngest. I have many nieces and nephews and therefore, I have been around children my entire life. I studied education at Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago and finished my teaching degree at Olivet Nazarene University. I have taught at a preschool level for 17 years and then switched to Kindergarten a few years ago. I recently moved from Florida to be near some friends. I love reading, spending time at the beach, and doing mission work.
