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.
