Today we’re shining a spotlight on Mrs. Sorensen, our Prekindergarten teacher! She’s still a whippersnapper, having just started her third year of teaching this past fall (all of them here in Elkton). Mrs. Sorensen is inspired by her mom, and her #1 rule in life is “BE KIND.” She’d love to visit Greece and Spain, and she strongly believes “hotdish” and not “casserole,” is the proper terminology. Mrs. Sorensen shared that it’s possible she would’ve entered the aviation field, had she not become a teacher. Nursing may also have been an option for her, but unfortunately, staying conscious happens to be one of the requirements in that line of work.
We’re glad she landed on teaching! Thanks, Mrs. Sorensen, for all the great things you do for your students and for the Elkton School District!
