Hello Eastview family! My name is Blythe Latimer and I am so excited to be teaching 1st grade! I earned my degree in elementary education at Western Illinois University. I live in Canton with my fiancee, Jack and our daughter, Olyve. In our little family we have a dog, 3 cats, and a tortoise. All my free time is spent with my family.

christine pompeo - Second Grade

My name is Christine Pompeo and I am thrilled to be part of the Eastview Elementary family! I graduated with my Masters Degree in Teaching from National-Louis University in 2009. My family moved to Avon in 2015 from Naperville IL. We decided that it was time for our family to slow down and create something for our children. We purchased an old farm house with a little bit of land and started the journey. My husband Eric and I have been married for 18 years and have two children, (Ellie is 14 and Ronan is 16). My family enjoys any activity outside and family game nights. In my free time I love to garden, spend time with my animals, read and relax. I am looking forward to teaching 2nd grade this school year and bringing my enthusiasm for teaching children how to think critically, and become collaborators in their education, with the goal of them becoming lifelong learners. Learning should be fun and exciting and I can’t wait to get started!
