My name is Jennifer Van Pelt. This will be my 14th year teaching in the Kadoka Area School District. I taught for 5 years at the Interior School as the 6^th-8^th grade classroom teacher and for 6 years as the district Computer Teacher. This will be my 3rd year teaching 5th grade. I am originally from Fedora, SD. I graduated high school from Artesian- Letcher High School. I graduated from Mitchell Technical Institute with an A.A.S degree in Business Software Specialist. I then attended Dakota Wesleyan University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in K-12 Educational Technology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, quilting, and spending time with friends and family, especially my one-year-old nephew, Nash.
