~Mrs. Haerer~

I have lived in South Dakota all my life but for two years, when I lived in Germany. I attended Douglas School District k-5th grade and again 8th-12th grade. After graduating from Black Hills State University in 2004 with my elementary teaching degree, I taught literacy in Rapid City at an elementary school for one year. The following year I was given the chance to teach 1st grade at Douglas, so I jumped at the opportunity. I am now in my second year of teaching 1st grade at Douglas and it is both~-- rewarding and exciting. I'm grateful to give back to the school district that gave so much to me.

My family means the world to me. I am newly married to a man Dar. Dar is in the construction business and he and I are building our first home! We have two dogs named Pepper and Molly. Pepper is a black lab and she is 2 years old. Molly is a golden retriever and she is 8 weeks old. I have a younger sister and an older brother and sister, who are all around this area, in addition to my parents and two nieces. In my spare time I enjoy anything outdoors, such as camping and boating. I also like watching movies and eating! I spend most of my time enjoying my family and friends.
