New kindergarten teacher added at Lake Roosevelt

Kindergarten students are benefiting from having another teacher with the addition of Ashley Manderscheid.

A fourth kindergarten class was added at Lake Roosevelt Elementary School and has “really made a positive difference,” according to Principal Lisa Lakin’s report to the board of directors presented for their Feb. 28 meeting.

Mandersheid began at the beginning of the current semester in late January and joins Misty Krohn, Sally Rowan, and Shelly Miller in teaching kindergarten classes.

With 59 kindergarten students, the class sizes are now 16, 15, 15, and 13.

“Students are receiving more individual and small group instruction,” Lakin’s report says. “The transition went very smoothly. Naturally some parents were concerned but after speaking with them and meeting Ms. Manderscheid they felt much better about the situation.”
