My name is Mrs. Lynda Breckinridge and the 2023-2024 school year is my 36th year teaching and my second year here at St. George Elementary School.  I received my B.A. in Elementary Education from the University of St. Francis and my M.A. in Education from Governors State University. I began my teaching career in Illinois, teaching for twenty-two years in both private and public school, before moving to Florida.  I taught in Florida for ten years until my husband's job necessitated a move to New Jersey where I taught for two years.  I have had many great experiences in my thirty-five years: taught all grades K-8, sponsored an after-school art club, taught gifted classes, 4th/5th grade science, inclusion classes, and sponsored a school newspaper and yearbook. I am so happy to be at St. George and teaching first grade. The school's motto is my motto: Every Child, Every Day.
