We're Back! Did You Miss Us? :)

Wow! It's been a L-O-N-G time since we updated this blog! There have been some cha-cha-cha-changes here at Cantigny that we need to catch you up on. The original blogger, Jennifer, has moved on to a new teaching position and while we miss her, we are excited for her new opportunity! The Education Department of Cantigny now consists of the dynamic duo of Jill and Jenny! Together we teach and coordinate children and adult classes, programs, and special events.

Jill has been with Cantigny for three years and is the Education and Volunteer Coordinator.  She has a degree in Elementary Education from Miami University (Ohio).  When she's not teaching, Jill is busy training for the triathlons that she regularly participates in.  She also likes cooking and makes a famous chocolate chip banana bread! Yum!

Jenny just started at Cantigny in June and is the Education Program Assistant.  She has a degree in Elementary Education from Northern Illinois University (go Huskies! ). When she's not teaching, Jenny loves to knit and is always working on a project! She learned how to knit in a class at Cantigny- sign up today! :)

We both enjoy getting to know the wonderful families that we meet in our classes.  We enjoy teaching classes that peak curiosity and appreciation of the natural world, and what better place to hold class then on the beautiful grounds of Cantigny! We are lucky to come here everyday!

So, now that you know us a little better we hope that you will follow us and tell your friends about us! We promise to update frequently!
