“I am so excited to be joining the wonderful team at St. Mary’s! I grew up in Yankton, SD and have been teaching there for the last five years. I have taught 7th grade, 5th grade, and 2nd grade. I felt called to be a teacher as a kindergartner; I cannot think of anything more fulfilling than investing in the next generation. Jesus saved me ten years ago, and teaching is my ministry for His glory. I look forward to investing in the faith of your children while helping them grow as independent and cooperative learners.” Shared Jenum

Jenum will be replacing the current 5th grade teacher, Brittany Rose.
