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.

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 Heather Stenslien, first grade teacher at Prairie View and PV PTO President.
🏴‍☠️This is the start of her 21st year teaching.
🏴‍☠️Heather was born and raised in the beautiful town of Genoa.
🏴‍☠️She has been married to her husband, Steve, for 18 years and lives in De Soto. Her daughter is in 8th grade at middle school, and her son is in 5th grade at PV.
🏴‍☠️She loves watching her children participate in sports and other hobbies. She enjoys being active in our community by volunteering for our PTO, singing and teaching CCD at St Charles Church and being involved in our local 4H club.
🏴‍☠️One fun fact about her is that she is a 2 time Wild West Days Pig Wrestling Champion.
🏴‍☠️When asked what excites her most about De Soto, Heather says building relationships with the families is the most important and exciting thing about working in our district. Having been here for more than 20 years, I’ve been lucky to teach many siblings and have gotten to know families on a more personal level. Prairie View has become a second family for me.

This year at Stoddard, 2nd grade is learning about community in Social Studies. Today they got to walk to Creamery Creek and spend time getting to know the residents as well as reading books together. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to experience community firsthand.
