Mrs. White...we can't say enough about Mrs. White! She not only looks after the Library but she also is the one who steps up and takes classes when teachers need a quick substitute. She makes the library what it is! Mrs. White is an invaluable part of USD 311.

This group of educators love on our little ones every day! They teach the foundations of reading, writing, and arithmetic…they also teach how to walk in a line, when to wipe your nose, and how to pump your legs on the swings! We appreciate our grade school teachers because they rock PreK through Grade 4 every day!
