A little bit about me... I teach second grade at Elk Point-Jefferson Elementary School. I am originally from Sturgis, SD. I have taught grades K, 1st, 2nd, instrumental music and vocal music.I am beginning my 28th year of teaching. I really enjoy second graders, they are a joy to work with each day! No day is exactly the same which makes my job terrific! I enjoy biking, reading, shopping and making crafts. My husband, Brian, and I have three children. Molly is a high school English teacher in Howard, SD and this is her first year of teaching. She is an SDSU graduate and very excited to begin her teaching career. Scott is a junior at NSU in Aberdeen and is playing college football with a business major. Adam is a senior at EPJ.
