Each week, we're featuring a staff member to help you get to know the amazing people who make De Soto High School such a special place. This week is Elisa Trussoni, kindergarten teacher at Stoddard.
🏴‍☠️This is her 13 year teaching.
🏴‍☠️Elisa is originally from Mt. Horeb, WI.
🏴‍☠️She has five kids, live on a farm with cows, horse, chickens, rabbit, dog, and cats.
🏴‍☠️Her hobbies include photography and sewing.
🏴‍☠️One fun fact about her is that she doesn't like gum.
🏴‍☠️When asked what excites her most about De Soto, Elisa says I love the people and the small community. I love getting to know the families not just the kids that I teach.
