Ms. Laurie Weestrand
Hello Pre K Families!
Welcome to our new school year! PreK at Highland Park Elementary School is THE BEST!!!
My name is Laurie Weestrand I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year.
This is my 19th year teaching for St. Paul Public Schools! I taught Kindergarten for 14 years and this will be my 5th year teaching PreK at Highland. I live in Apple Valley (by the Minnesota Zoo) with my husband, Jer. I am a proud mom of two BIG kids! Alaina is 25 and finished with college and Bennett is 20 and currently in college at St. Mary's in Winona. I also have two puppies (Beau and Daisy) who keep us very busy at home.
When I am not teaching, you might find me: heading to the cabin, cooking, looking for a new vegetable recipe, attending one of Bennett's hockey games, going for a walk or hike, planning a trip, reading, or traveling.
I am looking forward to all of our PreK adventures this year!
Fun in PreK
