Let's Get to Know Mrs. Holloway!

Who is ready for another Q & A? Let's get to know Mrs. Holloway!

Q: what do you do at Oakhill? 

I am Mrs. Tenner's assistant in pre-k.

Q: what educational institution did you come from or what is your background? Last teaching experiences? What made you drawn to Oakhill? 

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from UMKC and worked as an in-home daycare throughout high school and college.  This is my first year as a teacher but my  seventh year at Oakhill as a parent.  Both of my daughters (Lauren, age 8 and Allie age 6) have attended Oakhill since they were 2 years old.  Oakhill has been such an important part of our family for the past six years.  I've spent a lot of time volunteering here and now I am thrilled to get the opportunity to work here.

Q: what are your "other" gifts, talents, interests that you bring to Oakhill? 
I have a big heart.  I genuinely care about each of the students and I want them to feel special and loved when they walk through the doors of our school.

Q: what are you enjoying most about your new position and Oakhill? 

I am enjoying being a part of an amazing faculty with people from all different backgrounds, interests and talents who all have a common goal: to love, teach and help their students be all that they can be! 

Q: What have the students taught you so far? 

The students have taught me how to laugh, have fun and about being flexible!

Q: What do you want parents to know about you?  

I believe so much in our school.  There is no better place to drop your children off for the day in such a loving, nurturing environment where they are given the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Q: what do you like to do in your spare time? 

I love going to the gym to workout, running, and spending time with my family.
