Welcome to my teacher website!

My name is Heidi Patterson and I am one of seven Reading Specialists at Punxsutawney Elementary School.  I am a graduate of Slippery Rock University with a degree in Elementary Education.  I also have a Master's in Reading from SRU and a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from Gannon University along with Principal Certification.  Before coming to Punxsutawney, I taught in Fairfax County, Virginia and at Farrell Area School District and Kennedy Catholic in Mercer County, PA.
 
I live in Sharon, PA with my husband, Chip. We have three children.  My son, James, is an actor living in LA.  My daughter, Kendall, recently graduated from Duquesne University and my youngest, Reegan, is a senior at Slippery Rock University.  We also have one dog and a cat.  During my free time, I love to travel, read, and watch sports!  I'm a huge Cleveland Browns fan, Syracuse football and basketball, and University of Kentucky and SRU Basketball. My favorite color is green and my favorite foods are cheeseburgers and lasagna. 
 
Reading is my passion and I hope to share that passion with your child!  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
