All About Mrs. Gemelke
My name is Mary Jo Gemelke. I grew up in a small town in northeastern Montana. Hinsdale is a farming community and is the home of the Raiders. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals like cows, horses, and rabbits all my life.
I graduated from Montana State University-Northern in Havre, Montana with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I moved to Hawthorne to become a teacher in 2000 and have been here ever since! I have taught kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, and Jr. High computers. The students that I taught in kindergarten are going to be 9th graders this year. Time flies when you are having fun.
I am married and have a 3 year old son. He is a very busy young man and keeps us very busy. He will be starting preschool this year. We have 5 pets; 3 dogs and 2 cats. My interests include reading, gardening, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. My latest trip was to Sun City, California. While there I was able to attend a comedy show featuring Ralphie May and go to the city of Oceanside to play in the ocean.
I'm looking forward to having a wonderful school year. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact me. My email address is gemelkem@mineral.k12.nv.us. You can also reach me during school hours at 945-1000.
