Hello! My name is Allie Aitken, and I am very excited to begin this 3^rd grade adventure at Ferguson Elementary!  I am currently a senior at Penn State University, and I am pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education.  I am originally from Naperville, Illinois (a suburb outside of Chicago). However, three years ago my family and I moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania.  In my free time I enjoy running, reading, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends.  I am also a huge Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Steelers fan! This past summer I enjoyed working as a swim team coach as well as a lifeguard.

       I look forward to getting to know the students of Room 121!  I believe teaching represents a career that offers numerous opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others, and I am continuously inspired with the profession.  I hope to motivate the students to strive past their potential and to grow as both learners and as individuals.
