Aloha, my name is Barbara Bloemke, and I am a 5th grade teacher. I’ve been teaching upper elementary students for 15 years, and I love fifth grade! It's rewarding to see the growth of the students as they participate in all the great experiences that are a part of their last year in elementary school.

I’m a Coffeen girl who spent 25 years living in Hawaii, moving back to Illinois to be near family. I'm thrilled to be starting my third year here at Beckemeyer and can't wait to get to know my students and their families. 

If you ever have any questions, please call the school at (217) 532-6994 or email me at bbloemke@hillsboroschools.net. I can also be reached through our Parent Square app.
