WELCOME TO 6TH GRADE LANGUAGE ARTS AND RELIGION!

My name is Erin Finnicum, and I feel so blessed to be working here at Holy 
Cross! I graduated two years ago from Ferris State University with a degree in
Elementary Education with minors in Language Arts and Social Studies. Upon 
coming to Holy Cross, I taught primary ESL at Fairview South School in Skokie 
while the teacher went on maternity leave. 

I enjoy staying active. I played high school softball and basketball, and I 
also played lacrosse in college. My dogs are two of my best friends. I have a 
Fox Terrier and a Beagle, and I love doing as much as I can with them. They 
are both rescues from shelters in Michigan, so they are fully enjoying life 
now!

I am very excited for this year and getting to know you and your children! 
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please do not 
hesitate to contact me. :)
