About Me
My name is Sami Garness and this will be my first year teaching. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from South Dakota State University and certification in Elementary Education from Dakota State University in May of 2019.
I grew up in Crooks, South Dakota and attended Tri-Valley for my K-12 schooling. I began growing a passion for children and education at a young age. I would sit my older siblings down in our basement (my classroom) and create lessons for them. Throughout my schooling at Tri-Valley, I had amazing teachers that made school exciting and I woke up wanting to go everyday. I feel honored to work alongside some of the teachers who helped me become who I am today.
During my free time, there are many things that I enjoy filling my time with. I love to live an active lifestyle and keep myself busy. On a relaxing day I love to: read books, watch Netflix, play card games, or spend time with my family (especially my nephew!). On my more ambitious days, I fill my time with: working out, playing sports (volleyball, basketball and softball), water sports, and snow skiing with my fiance, whom I got engaged to this summer.
