Mrs. Beth Hjelm Physical Education
 
Welcome! I am so happy to have you visit my home page. The goal of this page is three-fold: to provide information about the Sprague Physical Education program, to share informative links for parents, students and teachers and to allow for two-way communication between you and me. I hope you enjoy your visit!


The new school year brings a big change for me. I am no longer teaching second grade PE. While I miss working with the older students, I am so excited to be part of the full day kindergarten team!
