Meet Mrs. Boer, our new 8th Grade Math+ teacher. "I was born and raised here in Sioux Falls, SD. I attended college in Texas (Baylor) and Michigan (Calvin). I taught at Patrick Henry Middle School for 14 years and Sioux Falls Christian Middle School for 17 years. I have been married to my husband, Tony, for 31 years. He is a marriage and family counselor. Together we have 3 children, Michaela (8th grade math teacher at McGovern), Anna (nurse in Arizona) and Jacob (social worker in Minneapolis). My daughter Anna is married to Matt and they have a son, Theodore (18 months old).
I love spending time with my family, lifting weights, Zumba, reading, binge watching shows and hanging out with/taking care of small children.
I am excited to get to know and work with my students to help them find success with math, which will look different for each person."
The McGovern PTA will be meeting tonight, September 9, at George McGovern.. Everyone is welcome!
