Meet Stella Opahle, Library Media Specialist for the Middle School and High School. Stella, a Sauk Prairie alum, has a Bachelors of Science in Education and a Masters in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin Madison.
“I decided to be an educator for many reasons -- but the most prominent reason is my love of learning and the hope to instill this in young people. The talented educators I was exposed to as a kid were also truly an inspiration. Growing up in the Sauk Prairie School District, there were several wonderful educators that embraced me for who I was 100% and created fun and engaging learning environments. I feel lucky to have so many special memories that are tied to so many of the educators I've had throughout my life! Truly, their impact on me was profound... and I feel extra lucky that I will get to work alongside some of them now!”
Stella enjoys any type of crafting and is currently crocheting a sweater.
Welcome back to Sauk Prairie, Stella! #togetherwesoar #saukprairieschools
