Meet Mrs. Boer, our new 8th Grade Math+ teacher. "I was born and raised here in Sioux Falls, SD. I attended college in Texas (Baylor) and Michigan (Calvin). I taught at Patrick Henry Middle School for 14 years and Sioux Falls Christian Middle School for 17 years. I have been married to my husband, Tony, for 31 years. He is a marriage and family counselor. Together we have 3 children, Michaela (8th grade math teacher at McGovern), Anna (nurse in Arizona) and Jacob (social worker in Minneapolis). My daughter Anna is married to Matt and they have a son, Theodore (18 months old).
I love spending time with my family, lifting weights, Zumba, reading, binge watching shows and hanging out with/taking care of small children.
I am excited to get to know and work with my students to help them find success with math, which will look different for each person."
