Teacher Spotlight of the Week: Mrs. Kallie Lehr, Music Grades K-3
Mrs. Lehr’s first teaching job was in the town of Zelezny Brod in the Czech Republic; she taught English and choir. Her first full time position was in Williston, ND, at Hagan Elementary where she taught K-6 general music and band from 1999-2008. Mrs. Lehr moved to LaMoure in 2008 but stayed home with her kids. She farms with her husband, and continues her private music studio, It’s All About Music, for 22 years. In 2020, she started teaching K-3 music in LaMoure. Mrs. Lehr is married to David Lehr. They have two children, Emelia and Duke. Mrs. Lehr earned an AA degree from Cottey College. She graduated with a Bachelor’s in Music Education for PreK-12 general music, band, orchestra, choir and AP/theory from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She loves to be with her family, traveling, and trying/learning new things. She enjoys driving and rocking out in her auto. She loves listening to all kinds of music and anything to do with music from dancing to singing or playing, to going to shows or attending concerts. She can be found being artsy, working at the farm, or with animals. She also loves anything to do with water- if it’s frozen she can be found skiing, if not, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, or boating! Advice she would give is: You CAN do anything you set your mind to. You may have to find a way that works for you, but there IS a way. Always be kind. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Do your best. Find the positive. Live with passion and vigor.
