Meet our new teachers! Welcome to our team, Sarah Schimming! After a 9-year hiatus, Sarah is very excited to get back to the art classroom. She will be teaching art at the Montevideo Middle School.
Sarah graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in Art Education and Saint Mary's University with a Master's in Education. She has 19 years of experience teaching art in public schools with some years in every grade level K-12. Sarah has spent the past nine years caring for her children while teaching community education art classes, private art lessons and public art classes for kids and adults as well as being a youth and education coordinator at her church. Sarah's husband Dave teaches math at the Montevideo High School and coaches cross country and track. They have two children, AllieJane and Sam, and a Springerdoodle named Jack. Sarah enjoys home improvement and landscaping projects, working with youth at church, and spending time with her family in South Dakota.
Sarah is looking forward to building relationships with her students and making art class a bright spot in their day where they learn new skills and concepts as well as more about themselves.
