Welcome to room 221!  My name is Courtney Brewer and I graduated from Iowa State in 2002 with a degree in Elementary Education and an Art Emphasis.  This is my sixteenth year teaching Kindergarten.  I live in Norwalk with my  two children, Carly who is a sixth grader and Luke who is a fourth-grader here at Perkins.  I have my own floral business and enjoy doing wedding flowers part-time.  I also enjoy running, biking with the family, traveling, reading, playing tennis, and walking our three dogs.  I love teaching kindergarten and try to make learning fun and memorable for the little ones!  I truly believe Perkins is the best place to learn!

I graduated from The University of Iowa 18 years ago.  Go Hawkeyes!  I continued my education at Iowa State and received my Master’s degree in Interactive Technology.   I have worked for DMPS for 17 years and have been lucky enough to enjoy them all at Perkins.   Through the years I have taught 4th grade, a 4/5 combination room, and 5th grade.  I am currently teaching kindergarten.  I am lucky to live in the DMPS school district.  My 2 kids, Chase and Josie, attend Merrill Middle School and Roosevelt High School.  I enjoy spending time at our lake house, reading, exercising, and entertaining for friends and family.

Welcome to Perkins and Mrs. Lundy’s kindergarten! I have been teaching with Des Moines Schools since 1998, and have been teaching kindergarten at Perkins since 2008. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Teaching Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten Children from Iowa State University. My husband, Erik, and I have lived right across the street for 20 years, and we love this neighborhood! We have two daughters, Josie and Megan. Josie is a senior at ISU, and Megan is a junior at Roosevelt. I am active with Perkins PTA and Student Council. I am also a coach for the Perkins Battle of the Books group. In my spare time, I love to go to movies, read, watch ISU football and basketball, and hang out with my family and friends.
