Mrs. Darkowski Up Close...
I am so excited to be a part of the Hawkins Elementary staff! I have been a teacher for Brighton Area Schools since 1991. I have taught in grades 1-4, 6-8 in my years here at BAS, and have served 8 of those years in the role of district literacy coach. The best thing about being a teacher is that it is in constant flow...there is always something new to learn about my practice and there are always learners who need to learn in different ways. This diversity in learning styles allows me to grow my teaching practice to meet the needs of students each and every year! I am thrilled to be spending this last year of my career with your child. I am honored to be gifted with the time to impact them in a positive way as they continue to grow into independent, confident

My husband is Derek Darkowski is in software sales for Rockwell Automation. My daughter Emme is a graduate of Michigan State University and is employed by Rockwell Automation as an Account Manager in the Chicago office. She is an avid skier and lover of the outdoors! My youngest daughter, Cate is a junior at Michigan State University. She is learning so much about herself as a human as she navigates all the learning and challenges college has to offer! She is passionate about doing her best, friendships and having a ton of fun!
I love to be active in my life. I am a Michigan State Spartan, and I believe Spartans WILL! I enjoy playing golf, snowboarding, and working out with my friends. Derek and I are busy empty-nesters and loving it! We travel when we have the time and the finances to do so. Finding new adventures is a blast!
This is going to be a year of engaged learning with lots of discoveries along the way!
