Welcome to my teacher website!

My name is Heidi Patterson and I am a Reading Specialist here at Punxsutawney Elementary School working with second and third grade. This is my sixth year at Punxsutawney and I am very excited to be a part of this district! I am a graduate of Slippery Rock University with a degree in Elementary Education.  I also have a Master's in Reading from SRU and a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from Gannon University along with Principal Certification.  Before coming to Punxsutawney, I taught in Fairfax County, Virginia and at Farrell Area School District and Kennedy Catholic in Mercer County, PA.
 
I live in Sharon, PA with my husband, Chip. We have three children.  My son, James, is 27 and an actor living in LA.  My daughter, Kendall, is 23 and is a senior at Duquesne University and my youngest, Reegan, is soon to be 21 and a junior at Slippery Rock University.  We also have 2 dogs and 3 cats!  During my free time, I love to travel, read, and watch sports!  I'm a huge Cleveland Browns fan, Syracuse football and basketball, and University of Kentucky and SRU Basketball. My favorite color is green and my favorite foods are cheeseburgers and lasagna. 
 
Reading is my passion and I hope to share that passion with your child!  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
