Hello!
My name is Mrs. Van Batavia. I have been a teacher for ten years. I taught kindergarten for three years in Pipestone and for six years here at Luverne Elementary School. This will be my first year teaching 2nd grade.
I graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and I am currently working toward my master's degree in Reading.
My husband Dave and I both grew up in Luverne and attended school at Luverne High School. We have three daughters. Maddie is 18 years old and a college freshman at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Kamryn is 13 and in the 8th grade. She keeps us busy with all of her school activities. Ellie is 9 years old and in 3rd grade. She loves playing with her cousins and swimming.
