Mrs. Geier

This is my 17th year of teaching young artists in Sauk Prairie School District. When I’m not teaching, you can find me hiking with my family, riding horses, or cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers. I’m looking forward to an amazing year of artistic discovery with your child!

Mrs. Yarnell

This is my 17th year teaching in Sauk Prairie. I split my days between Sauk Prairie Middle School, Grand Avenue and Bridges. My husband Randy and I have two kids, Allison and Sawyer along with two dogs, Maddie Mae and Brie, and two cats, Colby and Swiss. We enjoy camping and try to fit in 10 trips each summer.

Did you know the Sauk Prairie K-12 Art Department has a Facebook page? Like us to get announcements for upcoming events and pictures of what we are doing in class!

Mrs. Hiel

This is my 4th year teaching music in Sauk Prairie and my 15th overall. I live in Baraboo, WI with my husband and three little girls. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my family. I'm excited to make music with Grand Avenue students this year!

Ms. Knitt

This is my 4th year teaching in Sauk Prairie and my 13th overall. I also teach at the Learning Center and Merrimac Elementary School. I will be teaching General Music and 5th Grade Band at Grand Avenue. When I'm not making music, I enjoy traveling, reading, and watching my favorite sports teams! I'm so excited to create music with the students of Grand Avenue!

Mr. Breunig

This is my 20th year teaching in Sauk Prairie and my 22nd overall. I teach 2 days at Grand and the rest of the week at Merrimac. I start every morning swimming with students with special needs. I also coach Varsity Girls Basketball in the District. In my free time I enjoy bowhunting.

Mr. Kostroski

This is my 3rd year teaching in Sauk Prairie. I graduated from Sauk Prairie High School in 2016 and Ripon College in 2020. I love playing, watching and coaching sports, especially basketball. I am looking forward to having fun in the gym.
