Summer trip to Wyoming for the Reinitz Family!

Let's welcome MNCS new team member! Cassie is very excited to join MNSC. She earned her M.S. in Counseling from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2007. Cassie enjoys spending time with her family, traveling and doing anything outdoors. She is thrilled to be working with the wonderful students, staff and families of MNCS.

Let's give a warm welcome to Lisa, we are so excited to have her join our "E" Team! My name is Lisa Dorow and I'm the new Interventionist/Title I Advisor. I am excited to be part of the MNCS staff and getting to know the students, families, and community. I'm a graduate of Fairmont High School, South Dakota State University, and Bemidji State University. As you can tell, I love LEARNING!! I am relocating back to the St. Peter area with my husband, Jonathan, and our 4 children (Alex, Ian, Joe, & Dru). In our spare time, we love doing arts and crafts, exploring, kayaking, trying new foods, & learning new things. I look forward to supporting MNCS students and families throughout the year.

Look what Paula’s been up to this summer! Our summer has been busy but laid back. Lots of camping and fishing, our home away from home at the campground. Our new puppy has been a joy and keeps us busy, he’s a real cuddle bug. I’ve been helping my daughter with wedding things, praying for a beautiful day and that we don’t have to resort to Plan C. I also painted my sons new house for him, so proud of him. We have missed or family and friends but are staying safe by social distancing as much as possible.
