About Ms. Haroun

Hello!

Well, here you are to learn more about me, yippee! And so I shall offer you what the title says.

My name is Ms. Haroun and this is my first year at St. Leonard( how lucky am I!?). I was born and raised here in Ottawa, more specifically Barrhaven, and I love this city to bits. You may have once also tried to pinpoint my ethnicity, and perhaps decided you knew it for sure. Well, if you guessed half Egyptian and half German, you my friend have incredible skill. In terms of my education, I went on to Kingston after high school to get my Bachelor of Arts Honour's degree from Queen's University as a Psychology Major, and then returned home to follow up with my Bachelor of Education from the University of Ottawa.

When I am not teaching or thinking about my teaching, I love to spend my time playing sports, my favourites being soccer, running, and cheerleading. On weekends I also love baking and cooking, with a recent interest in making cakes! Along with the aforementioned pieces of who I am, here are some random points about myself that may or may not be of interest to you:
  • I write poetry
  • I love dogs and have a soft spot for beagles
  • I went to St. Joesph Catholic High School
  • I love hip-hop dance
  • My favourite subject to teach is the Arts-- where I can learn the true depths in some students that other academic subjects do not let shine through
I absolutely love my job and every day that I am in the school is a privilege. I am THRILLED to be your child's teacher this year and beyond EXCITED for the learning, fun, growth, and experiences this year is bound to bring!

I am always more than open and willing to discuss any concern or answer any questions you might have. Please feel free to send a note in the agenda, or call the the school at any time!

I am also on twitter under the handle @Missharoun
