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!

Hi! My name is Tracey Jackman and I am a kindergarten teacher at Perkins. I have been lucky enough to teach at Perkins for the past 26 years. I love to read, do yoga, and go on bike rides. My husband and I have two children. Chase is a graduate from the University of Iowa and Josie is finishing up her degree to become a teacher. I absolutely love teaching and have enjoyed teaching 4th grade, 5th grade, and am now currently in kindergarten. Go Penguins!

Kindergarten

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.
