Patty Durham

Hi! My name is Mrs. Durham. I live in Jenkins with my husband Bill. We have two grown children, Mary and Justin. 

We have a Lab named Rowdy, who loves to hunt. I enjoy spending time with my family, sewing, and reading. My favorite children’s authors are Tomie dePaola and Eric Carle. I like their illustrations and their writing.
​
I have a K-6 teaching license from Southwest MN State University, and a K-12 reading certificate and Masters in Reading through the University of MN, Mankato. In addition, I have been trained in the Orton-Gillingham method.  The 2017-2018 school year is my seventh year teaching first/second grade here at Crosslake Community School. I love teaching and am happy to be a part of the CCS team.
