Mrs. Boryk

My name is Tina Boryk. I grew up in Clinton Corners and attended Hyde Park Schools. I have been teaching in the Hyde Park District for 18 years. September begins my 4th year teaching a stand alone Kindergarten Class at North Park.

In my spare time I enjoy going for walks with my family, reading books and gardening. I also like to look for new and fun ideas for the classroom because I absolutely LOVE teaching!
