Valerie Tollefson is currently completing her formal education from Missouri Western State University. She will graduate this December with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Mild/Moderate Cross Categorical Disabilities for grades K-12. Following her student teaching assignment in Elaine Schilling's fourth grade class room this fall at Hiawatha Elementary School, she will resume her responsibilities at the Hiawatha Middle School as the 6th/7th grade IRC instructor.
Mrs. Tollefson lives south of Hiawatha with her husband Mark. They have three children, Seth, Leah, and Annie, who are all graduates of Hiawatha High School and are currently attending different colleges.
Having been a resident of Brown County for the majority of her life, Mrs. Tollefson is excited about becoming a member of the HMS staff. She especially looks forward to working with students and helping them acquire the knowledge they will need to become happy and productive citizens.
