Glenview's Overeem 'Cares For Her Students': Patch Teacher Spotlight

GLENVIEW, IL — Great teachers matter. In Glenview, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Jennifer Overeem.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Jennifer has been a teacher for 30+ years and dedicates so much of her time to her students. She gives so much to help them learn and she, herself, hasn't stopped learning in order to best teach her kids. She is a mom and grandmother and treats her students like her own.
