"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."

Hi, my name is Patricia Rickman and this will by my 19th year in teaching. After graduating in 1992, I taught for 4 years in the Chicago suburbs. In 2001, my family moved to Rhinelander and I taught at Nativity Catholic School for 10 years. I was thrilled to join Northland Pines Eagle River Elementary School for the 2011-12 school year. In 2015, I became Montessori certified and helped open the Northland Pines Montessori Learning Center. I look forward to many years here! Please feel free to contact me at any time via phone or email. You can also follow the Northland Pines Montessori Learning Center on Facebook and Twitter.
