Hi, I’m Shirley Hanneman and this is my first year in Americorps. I’m at Jefferson in New Ulm. We have 2 daughters, one in California and the other on the other coast, in Hilton Head, SC. My husband is retiring after this school year (he’s a prof at the college here) and we decided to retire to Margarittaville near Hilton Head! Our last cold winter! I am also a piano teacher and like to knit and read.

Hello! I’m so excited to be doing Reading Corps for my second year! I am a tutor at Bridgewater Elementary in Northfield. Outside of school, I also foster cats. My photo features Cupid, my current foster. For fun I like to read, hike, and spend time with friends! I’ve also recently been trying to bake some new ~fall~ themed recipes. I’m planning to make caramel-apple turnovers this week!

Hello! I am so excited to be here at Washington Learning Center in New Ulm again.  I started last year in January and was so thrilled to be able to come back for this school year.  I have 2 grown children that live in New Ulm but I still don't see them very often. Sigh!  But my 2 cats keep me company.  I love cats, books, and tea.  I feel those all go together quite well.  My email address is virgiesbills@gmail.com. I would love to connect with any of you so feel free to message me.

Hi!!! I am so happy to be back with Reading Corps this year. This is my 3rd yr. at Lincoln Elementary in Owatonna. I have two boys. Tristin is 10 and a 5th grader. Tyrel is 7 and a 2nd grader. Tristin was recently diagnosed with autism, so that is something we are to work with and come up with ways to help him in school.

Hello All! It is great to part of the AmeriCorps team once again this year.  This is my fourth year serving with Math Corps.  I serve in the New Ulm Middle school to grades 5-8.  The school I am serving in used to be the senior high so it is the school I officially graduated from.  A fun fact is I married my Brother's best friend and they are still best friends to this day.  I live with my Husband, and two cats, which are quite entertaining. I like diamond painting, coloring, being outdoors, playing with my cats, spending time with my Husband, Math, and reading.
