About Ms. Smith
I grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota and graduated from Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield. After high school, I attended Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall and received my bachelor's degree in Literature and History. In addition, I obtained a 7-12 licensure in Language Arts and Social Studies education.
This is my seventh year teaching English at Lester Prairie School, but I have taught for 22 years. I have a diverse background in education, having taught middle school/high school English and Social Studies in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Minnesota. I have also tutored students with ACT preparation, writing, study skills, and even directed a play or two.
I enjoy spending time with my family, baking delicious sweets, traveling across the country, and playing with my pup, Oscar. I love to read, and I'm excited to share that passion with my students. It has been a year of growth and continual learning, and I feel blessed to teach at Lester Prairie School.
