I would like to welcome everyone back to a new school year. I am happy to be teaching First Grade again this year. This is my 12th year teaching at American Horse School, prior to coming here I taught in rural schools in Nebraska. I graduated from Chadron State with an Early Childhood Degree in Education.
I was raised in the Gordon area where my family operated a packing plant. I now live in Merriman with my husband Brian. We have one son who lives in Rapid City.
Betty Robertson will be working with me this year to make this an exciting and educational year for your child.
