Meet Mrs. Gessner 

Greetings from Mrs. Gessner's Room!

My name is Amanda Gessner, and I am thrilled to be on this learning journey with the fifth graders!  I cannot wait for a year filled with exploring, discovering, and excitement.  

My personal learning journey began in Plainview where I graduated with my high school diploma and an associate degree in Liberal Arts.  My next endeavor included earning my bachelor degree in Social Work from Winona State University.  Then I attended St. Mary’s University to complete my master’s degree in Education and obtain my Reading License for grades K-12.  I have been teaching for 10 years and held positions as a 4th grade teacher, 5th grade teacher, and 3-8 reading interventionist.  

I am humbled and grateful to be back with my Dover-Eyota family.  I look forward to meeting families and other community members as I embark on this exciting excursion.  Please stop by and say hi!               

Here’s to a remarkable year!
