🌟Staff Spotlight!🌟 Meet Trisha, teacher at Ramsey Elementary School and the Varsity Girls' Tennis coach! Hi, my name is Trisha Suchanek, and I am a second grade teacher at Ramsey and the Varsity Girls' Tennis coach. I have been teaching for eight years, and this is my third year in Montevideo. My husband and I live in town and we have two sweet daughters, Paisley and Wren. I absolutely love teaching in the community that I grew up in. The best part of being a teacher is building relationships with the students and watching them grow over the year! I love my job and I have a great staff to work with which is an added bonus! Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, playing tennis, fishing, cards and baking! Go Hawks! We're proud to have Trisha on our team! #HawkPride #StaffSpotlight

🌟Staff Spotlight!🌟 Meet Marian, one of our amazing paraprofessionals at Ramsey Elementary School! Hello! My name is Marian Anderson. Working for the school district was something I never anticipated. I worked in the business world of insurance for 50 years and retired, and then thought, "Oh, no," I need a little more! I was not ready to sit in a rocking chair! Working as a paraprofessional has been a different world for me for sure. I've enjoyed meeting new people and co-workers, and the interactions with little ones have met my social needs. My husband and I have a daughter and son-in-law (Angie and Matt) and two grandchildren. I LOVE people, and I am really involved with the VFW Auxiliary and am on the board as Jr. Vice President. We're proud to have Marian on our team! #HawkPride #Staff Spotlight

🌟Staff Spotlight!🌟 Next up in our staff spotlight is a familiar face in a new role! We are happy to welcome Sarah Jensen to her new position as our elementary school nurse! Hello! My name is Sarah Jensen. I'm super excited for my new role as the school nurse for both Ramsey and Sanford elementary schools! I have always felt that taking care of and helping others is my calling in life. For the last two years, I worked as a paraprofessional at Ramsey Elementary School. I really enjoyed getting to know the students and staff, helping in the classrooms, and I'm looking forward to another great year providing health services to our elementary students and staff. I have four children: Autumn (20), Bryer (16), Christopher (15), and Emma (8). We love spending time outdoors together, whether it's fishing, gardening, grilling or just enjoying a good fire with smores. In my spare time, I enjoy taking care of my indoor succulent garden and baking. We're proud to have Sarah on our team! #HawkPride
