I am teaching middle school science and religion. I grew up and live in Rockford, IL. I attended St. Bernadette School and Boylan Catholic High School. I loved attending Catholic school and wearing a uniform! After graduation, I attended Rock Valley Community College while I decided on a major. I received my Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in science from University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2015.[/person][/one_third][one_third last="no" spacing="yes" center_content="no" hide_on_mobile="no" background_color="" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" background_position="left top" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all" border_size="0px" border_color="" border_style="" padding="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" animation_type="" animation_direction="" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" class="" id=""][imageframe lightbox="no" lightbox_image="" style_type="none" hover_type="none" bordercolor="" bordersize="0px" borderradius="0" stylecolor="" align="none" link="http://mrsprynespage.weebly.com/" linktarget="_self" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" hide_on_mobile="no" class="" id=""] <img alt="Visit Mrs. Pryne Classroom Website" src="http://stmaryschoolwi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/sms_classroom_button.png" />[/imageframe][person name="Mrs. Alissa Pryne" title="Middle School Math &amp; Social Studies Teacher" picture="http://stmaryschoolwi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/map_marker.png" pic_link="" linktarget="_self" pic_style="none" hover_type="none" background_color="" content_alignment="" pic_style_color="" pic_bordersize="0" pic_bordercolor="" pic_borderradius="0" icon_position="" social_icon_boxed="no" social_icon_boxed_radius="4px" social_icon_colors="" social_icon_boxed_colors="" social_icon_tooltip="" email="apryne@nativitymary.org" facebook="" twitter="" instagram="" dribbble="" google="" linkedin="" blogger="" tumblr="" reddit="" yahoo="" deviantart="" vimeo="" youtube="" pinterest="" rss="" digg="" flickr="" forrst="" myspace="" skype="" paypal="" dropbox="" soundcloud="" vk="" class="" id=""]I attended UW-Whitewater, where I received my Bachelors Degree in Education.
