Deb Freeman

Today we feature Mrs. Freeman as she reflects about her first day at Illini Middle School (Now JCMS) . . .

"My most vivid memory was when I stepped foot into my classroom for the first time after being hired by Jack Holmes to teach seventh grade science.  I sat on a stool in front of the classroom before students had arrived.  It was the best feeling ever!  I couldn’t wait to start teaching!  I still feel that way as each new school year begins!  It is the anticipation of being able to change lives, opening kids up to the wonders of science, and seeing all those smiles!"
