All About Me

Welcome!!!

I hope you had a great summer.  This week your child may be feeling excited or apprehensive (or a little of both) as they approach an important milestone in their life - the first day of Kindergarten!  This will be my 7th year teaching Kindergarten.  I previously taught Jr-Kindergarten for 10 years.  I absolutely LOVE teaching this age group!  Their enthusiasm about learning and endless energy keeps me on my toes!!

I am beginning my 17th year as a teacher in the Brandon Valley School District.  I graduated from Lake Area Vo-Tech in Watertown, SD with an Associate's Degree in Child Development .  I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction from Dakota State University in Madison, SD.  I live in Brandon with my husband, Scott, and our children.  My daughter, Kylie, is a 9th grader, and my son, AJ, is a 5th grader.  I enjoy reading, playing volleyball, and spending time with family and friends.
