My name is Dawn Knopik. My husband, Lance, and I have six children whom have all attended Mary of Lourdes School. The first 10 years of my teaching career, I taught lower elementary grades. I taught 2 years as a substitute teacher, 2 years
in South Dakota, and 6 years on the Mille Lacs Indian reservation. At that point, I left teaching for 17 years to raise our children. During this time I was involved at Mary of Lourdes as the Volunteer Coordinator, Parent & School Coordinator and a substitute teacher. I’m excited to be back in the classroom as a teacher.
Curriculum
The Art curriculum will be tapping into students' creative gifts through projects that correlate to what is being learned in other subjects. We will use an array of materials to encourage the creativity and uniqueness of each student's artistic style.
