Hi Everyone!  My name is Miss Grimm, and this will be my first-year teaching at South Union.  I graduated from Iowa State and am originally from Des Moines.  Outside of school I love spending time with friends and family, going for walks with my two dogs, and cheering for the ISU Cyclones!  I am so excited to join the South Union Community and have a great year with you all!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Mrs. Meola.  I have been teaching for 9 years.  This will be my fifth year in DMPS at South Union.  My husband and I live in Altoona with our daughters Eve and Mia and our French bulldog, Vinny.  I love staying active, trying new foods, and spending time with friends and family.  I am looking forward to a year full of fun and learning with you!

Hello everyone!

My name is Katie Wilson and I am an Iowa girl, born and raised.  I attended Des Moines Public Schools growing up and it has been my dream since I was in elementary school to one day be a teacher in this district.  I graduated from Grand View University with a degree in elementary education and an endorsement in reading.  Upon graduating, I taught fifth grade for two years.  After that time I moved to Waterloo, Iowa for a year where I worked as a graduate assistant in the Literacy and Curriculum department at UNI.  In this position, I worked as a practicum supervisor to junior level elementary education students.  Upon moving back to Des Moines I taught middle school for one semester then worked as a substitute in the district.  In my free time, I love spending time with my family, walking my dogs, and reading.  I’m so excited to start teaching at South Union.  One thing I am most looking forward to is getting to know all of my students and their families.  Thank you for welcoming me to your school!
