Mrs. Boyle
I feel so lucky to be starting my 9th year at River Woods as your PE teacher! I grew up with 10 brothers and sisters and give all of them credit in helping me find my career in teaching. I love the Chicago White Sox, baking in my kitchen, and going out for ice cream with my husband. My husband is a teacher as well, teaching automotive classes to college students. I am looking forward to an amazing school year with you!
