Mr. Joel Olson

I LOVE teaching Science.  The opportunity for kids to discover the world around them and do as many hands-on activities to learn is an excellent way to learn about my favorite subject!

This is my twenty - seventh year as a teacher and twentieth year in the Kasson-Mantorville school district. My wife Amy (Child Life Specialist at Mayo in Rochester) and I have two daughters (Raya, 10th grade and Hadley 8th grade).  My family also includes two dogs (Puckett, and Gigi) and two cats (the cats are my daughter's so I don't acknowledge their names). 

My hobbies are cheering on my daughters in their sports, being disappointed by Minnesota sports teams, golfing, meat smoking, and  weather geeking. I also officiate high school football.
