Bio: “How can I be of assistance?” That’s it in a nutshell, I’m here to help you. This is my 11th year here at Laurin as the Head Secretary (Administrative Assistant).

I strive to exceed expectations when it comes to supporting our students, parents, staff, and colleagues. Together we will make great things happen that encourage a positive, supportive, and thriving culture hear at Laurin Middle School. Let’s go LAURIN LIONS!

Bio: Hello Laurin Family! I am Shelley Bloemke. I have been at Laurin since 2001 with a brief intermission of 2 years in the middle. I am the voice you hear on your voicemail if your child has been absent from school! I love my job and love the students at Laurin. I feel a strong connection because my own kids went to Glenwood/Laurin/Prairie! My biggest joy is the kids! Knowing everyone’s name and the correct way to say it is important to me! As part of the Office team, I am always ready to help you…with a wink and a smile!
