Mrs. Leiser

Hello! I'm Elyse Leiser and this will be my thirty-second year teaching at Turtle Lake.  I LOVE my job and feel fortunate to be working with outstanding families and kids here at Turtle Lake! Every day is a new adventure and I find great joy in helping kids be the best they can be!

My husband teaches physical education at Island Lake Elementary and is the Boy’s Varsity Basketball Coach at Mounds View High School (Go Mustangs!).  We have two young adult  children, Paige and Brady.  

 I am a proud graduate of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I graduated with  degrees in elementarty education and special education.  I did my masters work through St. Scholastica in Duluth.

Our family loves to travel, go to sporting events, and spend time outside.  Paige lives in Washington DC, and Brady lives in Duluth, so I don't get to see them as often as I would like to, but I sure do love it when they come home or we go to visit them!
