Mrs. Mart is in her 28th year of teaching at LaMoure School. She spent 24 years on the elementary end, primarily in second grade. She then moved to the other end of the school where she teaches JH English and HS art. This year she added elementary art to her schedule. With this latest addition, she can now say she has taught all grades, K-12.

Mrs. Mart grew up in Ryder, ND, and attended college at Minot State University. She later earned her master’s degree through Graceland University in IA.
Mrs. Mart loves to read, hang out with her family, and decorate. She can be found outside on her deck any chance she gets!
Her advice to others is: BE KIND ALWAYS...you will never regret being kind!

Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Thielges, K-12 Physical Education
Tyler came to LaMoure to teach K-12 Physical Education. He is in his second year here. Here previously taught in our neighboring school for Litchville-Marion. While there for 3 years, he was the 6th-grade classroom teacher, which included SmartLab.
Tyler married his high school sweetheart, Megan, who is also from LaMoure. Together they have 3 sons, 5-year-old Traxen, 3-year-old Breckett, and 1-year-old Kallstyn.
After graduating high school in LaMoure, Tyler received an Exercise Science degree from University of Sious Fall in 2017, an elementary education degree from Valley City State University in 2017, and got his Masters in Educational Leadership in 2020 at Northwest Missouri State University.
Outside of working at the school, Tyler enjoys playing and watching sports with his family. In the summer, getting outdoors and traveling to places like Medora are things they love to do as a family. He also enjoys the opportunities to coach sports and athletic performance training.
His advice for others is: “Guard your heart above all else, for everything you do flows from it.”-Proverbs 4:23. “Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, for your character is who you really are, while reputation is merely what others think you are.” - John Wooden
We’ve never seen your cape or mask, but we see your superpowers every day! Thanks for being a super teacher!!
4th grade had fun with 100 days of school! 100 minutes of work on their Biomes projects while listening to music from the 70's. Why the 70's decade of music you ask? Because there are 75 days left of school! So, the majority of the class dressed from the 70's decade.

Teacher Spotlight of the Week: Mrs. Kallie Lehr, Music Grades K-3
Mrs. Lehr’s first teaching job was in the town of Zelezny Brod in the Czech Republic; she taught English and choir. Her first full time position was in Williston, ND, at Hagan Elementary where she taught K-6 general music and band from 1999-2008. Mrs. Lehr moved to LaMoure in 2008 but stayed home with her kids. She farms with her husband, and continues her private music studio, It’s All About Music, for 22 years. In 2020, she started teaching K-3 music in LaMoure. Mrs. Lehr is married to David Lehr. They have two children, Emelia and Duke. Mrs. Lehr earned an AA degree from Cottey College. She graduated with a Bachelor’s in Music Education for PreK-12 general music, band, orchestra, choir and AP/theory from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She loves to be with her family, traveling, and trying/learning new things. She enjoys driving and rocking out in her auto. She loves listening to all kinds of music and anything to do with music from dancing to singing or playing, to going to shows or attending concerts. She can be found being artsy, working at the farm, or with animals. She also loves anything to do with water- if it’s frozen she can be found skiing, if not, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, or boating! Advice she would give is: You CAN do anything you set your mind to. You may have to find a way that works for you, but there IS a way. Always be kind. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Do your best. Find the positive. Live with passion and vigor.
Congratulations to Anthony Hanson for signing to play baseball for the Blue Hawks of Dickinson State
