Hello. I'm Kathi Dunn. I've been fortunate to be a teacher here, at St. John's going on nineteen years. Most of those years were spent in second grade. This is my fifth year in third. However, I've taught third grade and other grades in places like Massachusetts, where I was born and raised, and in Connecticut, where my husband's work brought us. Our three children were born in Connecticut. My husband, Kevin and I thought we'd spend a couple of years in Minnesota, and then move back east. That was twenty-nine years ago. We found a home here, and I found a teaching home at St. John's. While my undergraduate work was completed in Massachusetts, my graduate work was completed here, in Minnesota. I actually started my master's degree once in Massachusetts and another time in Connecticut. The timing was not quite right, however. So, it wasn't until we were settled here that it worked out for me to finish. In addition to having three grown children, I am the proud grandmother to two energetic grandsons.
