Katie Cairns
Language Arts Specialist | LAS
Greetings Bobcats! My name is Katie Cairns, and I am so excited to be joining the Beye Family as your LAS! This is my 20th year teaching in Oak Park District 97. I have degrees in Education and English Literature from Dominican University as well as a masters in Reading Instruction from Concordia University. I began my teaching career in the district back when Kindergarten was half day! I then moved to teach a multiage classroom of 1st and 2nd grade students with a teaching partner. I have also taught 2nd grade as well as a 3rd grade co-taught inclusion classroom with a special education teaching partner. I am THRILLED to be starting my new adventure as LAS in the building! I live in LaGrange Park with my husband and son, including our beloved Chocolate Lab, Champ! My son is turning 18 in September and is a Senior at Lyons Township High School. We are a baseball family and our days are filled with travel team tournaments or high school team games! We LOVE it!
