ALL ABOUT ME

 

HISTORY-  I was born April 14, 1960 in Burke, SD.  My family consisted of my parents and three younger brothers.  I attended Herrick Grade School and graduated from Burke High School in 1978.  
EDUCATION-  I attended SDSU and BHSC graduating with a degree in Child Development and Family Relations with an elementary endorsement through a coop program between the two schools.    
CURRENT FAMILY-  I married Terry Leischner in May of 1985 and now have three children; Michael, a freshman; Jenaya, an eighth grader; and Darcy a fifth grader.  My husband and I farm in the Parkston area.  We are involved in the UCC Church with the youth and music and are involved in 4-H as a family.  Attending PHS sporting and music events, plus baseball games are things that we enjoy as a family.
WORK HISTORY-  I taught second grade for one year in Burke, SD.  After getting married and starting our family, I helped on the farm and did some babysitting for other families.   In 1992, I worked as an aide for the preschool program in Parkston and the following year started teaching the lower elementary grades at Old Elm Springs Colony, where I am currently teaching.
