Meet Our Amazing Mrs. Hovick! 💙

We're so grateful to celebrate Mrs. Hovick, our wonderful fourth-grade ELA teacher! She embodies what makes Badger so special—she creates a warm, welcoming classroom where students feel like family. Her passion for building genuine relationships with her students and fostering a love of reading is truly inspiring. The Badger community is lucky to have her!

What does Mrs. Hovick love most about teaching at Badger? "Badger is a unique school in that it feels like you're working with family. Since we are such a close-knit community, students and their families become familiar faces long before they reach fourth grade. I love building relationships with my students, learning alongside them, and (trying to!) get them to love reading, ha! I feel fortunate to be part of a team that truly supports and shows up for one another and to work with such amazing kids and families every day."

Fun Fact: Mrs. Hovick is a plant enthusiast and has over 35 plants in her home! 🌱 That's dedication!

Thank you for all you do to nurture our students and our school community. Your warmth and dedication make all the difference!
