Welcome to My Classroom

Tami Rakow

I am the Kindergarten/Early Childhood Education Teacher at Grewenow.  I team teach with Kindergarten teacher, Libby Nelsen in Room 102.  Teaching is my second career and this will be my third year with the District.  Prior to teaching, I worked for 15 years in Public Relations and Marketing.  I received my Masters in Teaching from National-Louis University and my Bachelors in Communication from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.  I am currently attending the University of Wisconsin Whitewater pursuing my Birth to 8 License.  My husband and I have two children one in elementary and one in middle school and a 14 year old cockatiel.  Baseball, softball, dance, Boy Scouts, and soccer keep our family busy. I volunteer my time as a softball manager and a Sunday school teacher.
