Please help me welcome a student-teacher joining us this semester, Lindsay Osterholt! Lindsay is from St. Henry, Ohio and is studying Music Education (Choral) at Bowling Green State University. A few of her hobbies include singing for her church, reading, yoga, and spending time with friends and family. Lindsay is excited for the opportunity to student teach with Mr. Beck because of the wide variety of music classes he teaches, from elementary music to high school choir! I'm from a similarly small town, so I also love the sense of community you find in a small school system like Pettisville. Welcome to Pettisville, Lindsay!
