Due to both of our music and band teachers being on maternity leave there will not be a Winter Concert. We look forward to our students performing for their families in the spring!

My name is Connie Soderholm and this is my fourth year teaching in Minnewaukan. I am an Instructional Coach and reading teacher. The best part about my job is the people I get to work with; both students and adults! I live near Sheyenne with my husband, John and son, Colter. Our other son, Seth lives in Valley City with his wife, Heather and baby son, Nolan. When I’m not at school, I enjoy being outside with my dog and horses.

Hello, my name is Megan Cook. I go by Ms. Megan and this is my second year working as a paraprofessional at Minnewaukan Public School. I started last year in October when I moved from Fargo to Sheyenne and have really enjoyed being in a school after several years of working in a daycare. My desk is in Mrs. Lawrence's classroom and I spend a majority of my time with 3rd graders but I do also move around throughout the elementary pods.

Hi, my name is Seth Ewert and I just started as a para at Minnewaukan School on October 9th. I grew up in Devils Lake, but also spent a short time living in Arizona and recently moved back to North Dakota after spending almost 10 years living in Minnesota. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature and taking photos of all the neat things that I see, but I also really enjoy spending time at home with my cat, Luna. I'm looking forward to spending the school year getting to know all the amazing students and faculty here. I can already tell it's going to be a great time!

Hi! My name is Kari Jo Taylor. I teach third grade! This is my seventh year teaching third grade in Minnewaukan! I live in Devils Lake with my boyfriend and our son. In my spare time I like to watch sports, be with family and friends, and travel.
