Getting to Know Miss Bourgea

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am eager to start my first year back at Porters Point and embark on our journey together. Let me begin by telling you a little about myself.  I grew up in South Burlington, VT and graduated from St. Michael’s College.  I enjoyed my time at SMC so much so that I decided to go back and get my Master’s Degree there as well!  I graduated in May 2015 with a Reading Specialist endorsement!  

Although I am a “new” teacher, I am excited to RETURN to Porters Point.  After student teaching at PPS, I worked for two years in David Allbee’s kindergarten classroom.  While working alongside such a knowledgable mentor, my goal became to teach in my own classroom. I soon obtained a position in Barre, where I have been a kindergarten teacher for the past five years.  These experiences have provided me with many great ideas to share with you and your child. 

I am also an avid athlete and sports fan.  Your child will most certainly hear about my love of field hockey and ice hockey!  I enjoy being active, devoting much of my time to running, playing in adult leagues, relaxing in the sun and keeping up with my 18-month-old golden retriever!   

I look forward to a great year!
