Lauren Fisher - Third Grade
|
Hello Eastview families! My name is Lauren Fisher (Lingle) and I will be joining the 3rd grade team at Eastview. I received my bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University in Elementary Education in May of 2015. After I graduated, I got a position teaching 5th grade. A few years ago, I decided to go back to school and further my education. In 2019 I graduated from Illinois State University with my master’s degree in Teaching and Learning. This will be my sixth year of teaching, and my first year teaching 3rd grade. This summer I got married to my husband Carl and we got a Golden Retriever named, Oakley. I’m excited to start this new teaching journey at Eastview, where I attended elementary school.

Hello! My name is Lindsee Gage, and I am so excited to start this school year as one of Eastviews new Special Education Teachers!
I am a Canton Alum, and attended Western Illinois University. This past December I received my Masters of Special Education. I am very excited to be back in my hometown teaching! This September my Fiance, Jordan and I will be getting married. When I am not walking my dog (the sweetest engagement gift from my Fiance) I am typically spending time with my family and friends. I love to travel and meet new people. A few of my favorite things are Coffee, Target, and anything sweet. I cannot wait to begin this new school year, and meet all of the new students and families at Eastview! |

Jenni Kees - substitute Library clerk
|
Hello Eastview students and families! My name is Jennifer Kees and I will be serving as your library clerk to start this school year. I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Bradley University. After teaching elementary school for several years, I made the decision to be a full-time mom. When my youngest started school, I became a substitute teacher for the Canton School District. I live in Canton with my husband Matt (some of you may know him as Coach Kees from the Canton Wrestling Club), and our girls Hannah and Isabella. Hannah is 21 and will be a senior at Bradley University. Bella is 17 and will be a senior at Canton High School. In my free time I enjoy reading and going on adventures with my family.

Erin Miller - Second GradeHi Eastview! I am Erin Miller and can’t wait to start my 12th year of teaching at Eastview as a 2nd grade teacher! I am an NIU and ACE alum where I received my bachelors and masters in education. I love teaching each content area, but writing and math are my favorite! I can’t wait to meet the new second graders and their families!
Outside of the classroom I like to spend time with my family. We enjoy kayaking, shopping, cook-outs and movie nights. I have spent the summer with our two new kittens, Frankie and Ollie and playing fetch with Stella, our lab. My husband and I enjoy traveling, especially to Disney World. In fact, you might find some hidden Mickeys in my classroom! I am excited for a new year and can’t wait to watch the students grow and learn throughout the year! |

Tyler Patches - Fourth GradeHello Canton Families!
My name is Tyler and I am a First Year Teacher. I am from Washington State but have family all over Illinois. I am grateful for this opportunity to work with the youth of Canton and expand my own knowledge of teaching. I just moved to town and look forward to exploring all it has to offer. I like to work with my students as partners in learning and give them as much choice in the classroom as possible. I believe that children do better when they have support and freedom in the classroom. I am excited to meet my first class and wish everyone a great year! - Ms. Patches" |
