Featured TeacherMs. O'Reilly, PreKII Teacher
Interviewed by Sofia Valencia (5th Grade)
Ms. O'Reilly became a teacher because she loves children and she loved her teachers growing up. Outside of work, she likes cooking and reading books. Her favorite food is pizza! If she wasn't a teacher, she would work with animals in some way. This is Ms. O'Reilly's 11th year in education and first month at TKS!
