Mrs. Julie Baumiller, Office Administrator

Mrs. Chanda Stelter
Bringing energy and passion is Chanda’s forte! In the mornings, you will find her providing a loving atmosphere that is not only structured, but dynamic and engaging for a variety of learning styles for preschoolers. In the afternoons, she’s teaching MLS’ K-8 students in P.E. trying to instill a love of lifetime fitness, activity, and health.


Mrs. Dorrie Burkhardsmeier (Mrs. B)
You will not find a bigger heart than Dorrie's! She leads the students with strength, and they all know how much she cares for each one of them. At school, you will Dorrie find taking care of details, caring for students and giving whatever she can to help others.


Mrs. Quincy Wyatt
Personal one-on-one connection shines through Quincy's every interaction. Leading her class with a smile and kind words is what you will find Quincy doing all day long! Her students love her and they leave her class more mature with the skills they need to tackle first grade successfully!
Mrs. Heidi Severson
Heidi's ability to see every single one of her students and their victories each day is truly remarkable! Focusing on positive reinforcement, Heidi teaches with compassion and grace.

Shawna is as steady and calm as they come! Her many years of teaching experience shine through as she interacts with her students. They may be wiggly, but she keeps her students engaged and equipped to tackle their assignments!

Anne-Marie always brings a smile and an uplifting word for students, teachers and parents alike! Providing her students with quality instruction, craft days and decorating the room for Christmas are just a few of the special touches she brings to MLS each day.


Ms. Ellie Quebedeaux (Ms. Q)
Ellie is full of life and joy! She loves her teenage son dearly and is also mom to all of her plants. In the classroom, her greatest joy is interacting with her students and teaching them beyond the textbook.


Mrs. Joy Mehlhoff
Quoting Shakespeare and hanging out with her grandkids are top on Joy's list of favorite things to do. Julius Caesar Day, a High Anne of Green Gables Tea Party, and dissecting a cow heart are all part of the package if Joy is in the classroom!
