Hello, my name is Patrick McFadden. I graduated from Western Illinois University with a focus in kinesiology. This is my 13th year working in District 81. I began as a Special Education Paraprofessional at George Washington Elementary School. The following year I moved to the Physical Education department. This year is my 8th year as the Physical Education Teacher at Kennedy Elementary School. I am very proud and excited to be the Physical Education teacher at Kennedy School. I take pride in getting to know each of my students and work very hard everyday to inspire them to live an active and healthy lifestyle. I have a wife and beautiful daughter and enjoy being active and spending as much time as possible outdoors. I am a very loyal Chicago Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks fan.
