Get to Know Your Teacher ...

Just a few facts about your First grade teacher. 

 I was born right here in Fort Dodge "many" years ago.  I attended this wonderful school from Kindergarten through Eighth grade.  From there I continued my education at the  Fort Dodge public schools, graduating from Fort Dodge Senior High. I then graduated from Iowa Central Community College and transferred to Concordia College in Seward, NE.  There I joined the Acapella choir and was able to go overseas on a singing tour to Germany, the land of Luther.   After graduation I taught 2nd grade in Pekin, IL for four years.  In 1990, St. Paul Lutheran School called me to teach Kindergarten, then 2nd grade and now 1st grade.   I have been so fortunate to teach hundreds of loving christian children throughout the years. 

 My parents, Adrian and Mary Louise live here in Fort Dodge.  I have six brothers and two sisters, 22 nieces and nephews and 5 great-nieces! God has truly blessed me with an awesome family and it is still growing!
