Welcome to First Grade!​

 My name is Julie Hersom.  I grew up here in Garretson and while I was in grade school I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went to the University of Sioux Falls to earn my Elementary Degree.  I began my teaching career in 4th grade and have been teaching 1st grade since 1981.  I am fulfilling my dream!!

Dave and I enjoy spending time with my two daughters' families which include my three grandchildren. 

Every day in first grade is an adventure full of surprises!!!
