🌟New Staff Spotlight!🌟 We are excited to welcome Sarah Lee to Thunder Hawk Territory for the 2024-2025 school year! #HAWKPRIDE
My name is Sarah Lee, and I am excited to join the 4th grade team at Sanford Elementary this fall! After spending nearly fifteen years working as a Medical Laboratory Technician at CCM Health, I realized that my lifelong dream was to become an elementary teacher. I have spent the past five years working as a paraprofessional in the 3rd and 4th grade while pursuing my Elementary Education degree online through Southwest Minnesota State University. I live in Dawson with my husband, Peter, and our four children: Brooklyn (17), Lauren (15), Nolan (12), and Addelyn (9). Some of my favorite pastimes include reading, going for walks, playing card games, and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to the start of the school year and getting to know the fabulous fourth graders at Sanford Elementary.
Help us welcome Sarah to the Thunder Hawk community!

We are excited to welcome Brooke LaHaye to Thunder Hawk Territory for the 2024-2025 school year! #HAWKPRIDE
My name is Brooke LaHaye, and I am excited to be joining Montevideo Schools at Sanford Elementary as the music teacher. My family moved to Montevideo this summer from Dallas, GA, near Atlanta. I was born in Minnesota, and grew up in West Fargo, ND until I finished high school. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I have lots of experience teaching K-4th grade as a classroom teacher and supporting K-7th grades in various other roles including paraprofessional, Title 1 Teacher, and Special Education teacher. I have a husband, Gregg, who works from home as a Software Engineer and three children who will be attending Montevideo Schools. Zach is almost 15 and will be starting 9th grade. Josh is 12 and will be starting 7th grade and Becca is 10 and will be starting 6th grade. We also have two dogs: Cody and Luna. My family enjoys traveling, riding our bikes, going out to eat, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy going for walks and going to the gym. We love Montevideo and are looking forward to meeting friends and getting more involved in the community.
Help us welcome Brooke to the Thunder Hawk community!
