Hi! My name is Mrs. Petersen. I am the Kindergarten, First and Second Grade teacher at East Glacier Park Grade School. I love teaching and I have an awesome class of super-smart students.

I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and moved to Montana in 2001 to teach for the Browning School System. I moved to East Glacier Park Grade School in 2006 and I really enjoy teaching here!

I am married to a super-cool guy named Jim Petersen, and I have 3 children, Brad (age 31), Jake (age 21) and Jimmy (age 15). My son Brad is married to a beautiful woman named  Beata and their son, Oskar, will be 7 years old in October. Being a Grandma is the BEST thing ever!!!

I graduated from Illinois State University in 1987 with a B.S. in Elementary Education. I received my Masters Degree in Reading and Literacy from Walden University in 2013. 

Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. We enjoy camping, horsebackriding, hiking, reading books and watching movies together!

I love animals and have lots of pets. I have 3 dogs (Molly, Allie and Buddy), 1 guinea pig (Twix) and 2 horses (Irish Eyes and Danny Boy)!
