About me
My name is Angie Kempf, and this is my thirty-first year of teaching—I still love it every bit as much as I did on my very first day! I’m thrilled to be part of the DC West community this year. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and love creating engaging, hands-on activities that make learning come alive for my students. I’m passionate about cultivating a positive classroom environment where kindness is valued and learning is celebrated.
I’ve been married to my husband, Terry, for 28 wonderful years, and together we’ve raised four amazing children. Now that our kids are grown and “flown,” we spend our time cheering on our favorite sports teams, traveling to new places, and enjoying special moments with family and friends.

About me
My name is Bobbi Singer. This will be my third year teaching 5th grade at DC West, and my 10th year teaching overall. Believe it or not, I subbed for 11 years before having my own classroom!
I live in Elkhorn with my husband, Dave, and my three kids. Blake is 21, Brady is 19, and Bailey is 15. We also have two dogs named Kevin and Jimmy.
When I am not teaching, my family loves to travel! We have taken many road trips across the country. Since Brady plays football at Midland University, I spend a lot of my fall Saturdays in the stands watching him play. I also love to cook and play golf.
We are going to have a great year. Fifth grade rules!

About me
My name is Justin Presler and I have been a 5th grade teacher for 20 years now. I love enhancing student learning through the use of technology. I am a Google Certified Level 1 & 2 Educator as well as an Apple Teacher. I have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, and a +30 in Technology. As an 🍎Apple and Google Teacher, I use many different apps and devices to integrate technology and help personalize learning in the classroom. I am also a part of DC West’s technology team that promotes and assists with technology integration. My goal as a teacher is to prepare students to be lifelong learners through the use of technology.
In addition to being a classroom teacher, I am also a husband to a beautiful wife Ashley as well as the Co-Founder of three adorable kids, Paizley, Cruz, and Waikz. I am blessed to have Everyday, as take your kid to work day as both Paizley and Cruz attend DC West. Paizley is in 8th grade and Cruz will be a 6th grader. Waikz is starting his 3rd year at daycare. When I am not teaching you can usually find me in our backyard on the lake with friends and family or attending the many activities my kids are doing. On Saturdays in the fall you will find me on the couch or in the stands watching football, primarily Husker football but football is always on come September. And if the season went well you can find me watching the Cardinals in October playing for the World Series as they are far superior to the Cubs.
