Hi everyone!
My name is Allyson Baysore, and I’m so excited to be joining the St. Joe’s community as the new 4th grade teacher! My husband and I recently moved from Michigan back to Illinois to be closer to our family, and we’re so happy to be settling into a place that already feels like home.
I’ve spent the past 4 years teaching in Michigan, and I’m passionate about creating a classroom where students feel supported, challenged, and excited to learn. I truly believe in the power of community, and I look forward to building strong relationships with my students and their families this year. Outside of the classroom, I love spending time outdoors and hanging out with my dog, Archie.
I’m looking forward to a great school year!
