Hello! My name is Mrs. Ginn and I have been teaching at Walt Disney Magnet School since 1996. I did
my student teaching in Pod 100 and never left! I have taught drama in the CAC, first, fifth and fourth
grades. Some people at school know me as Ms. Port and some call me Mrs. Port-Ginn. My name has
changed a few times since I first arrived!
When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my family. I live with my husband, daughter (11),
son (3), cat (?) ,dog (3) and hamster ( ?). We are a pretty busy bunch! Some of my interests include
hiking, kayaking, traveling and cooking. I love to be in the mountains, or near the water. Like most
teachers, I really enjoy reading a good book!
I love Chicago, but I have lived in five different states! I was born in New York City and have lived in
New Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio and California. I even lived in Canada for one year! Maybe this is why I
like to travel and explore new places.
After high school, I left home to attend a small liberal arts college in Granville, Ohio called Denison
University. I later received my Masters in Education at Loyola University Chicago.
I love teaching, because I love learning!! I hope that you are ready to work hard and learn with me
this year!
