This morning, we had the distinct pleasure of surprising Jane Eilertson at Garfield Elementary! Mrs. Eilertson is the longest-tenured teacher in the Sioux Falls School District, and tomorrow she will start her 42nd year with students! She has spent 40 years at Garfield, most of them as a kindergarten teacher! When asked what her favorite part of her career has been, she said, “Loving them [my students] with my whole heart.” The Education Foundation worked with Principal Kristin Skogstad to keep this morning’s presentation a surprise, so tune in to Dakota News Now, KELOLAND Media Group, and the Argus Leader to see how her colleagues reacted when the announcement was made and to hear stories from Jane about bringing piglets into the school and letting students read in a bathtub in her classroom!
