Greetings! Welcome to fifth grade! My name is Amy Lillehaug. I am very excited about working with your child this year. I grew up in Maple Grove, Minnesota with my parents and my sister. I started teaching in the Osseo School District twenty-five years ago, where I worked in the intermediate grades for seven years. I took some time off from teaching after my third daughter was born. I substitute taught for five years, which allowed me to be flexible while my girls were little. This is my tenth year at St. Cloud School District. I completed my Masters of Arts in Education degree through St. Mary's University. My husband and I live in the Annandale community with our three girls, where my youngest attends Annandale High School. My older daughters attend college at Winona and Mankato Universities to become nurses. My youngest keeps me very busy running to sporting events. My older daughters are missed on a daily basis, but still in contact.  In the little spare time that I have, I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, being in the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. I am looking forward to a great year of learning with your child! Please contact me whenever you need to by phone or email. Our communication is essential to having a productive year of learning and academic growth for your child.
