Janice Olsen
Teacher

Janice Olsen was born in Vermilion, South Dakota. She grew up on a farm and went to a one room country school house with all eight grades in it. She graduated from high school and went to college at the University of South Dakota. While in college she studied elementary and special education. Before she got her first job as a teacher she needed a college degree with 40 credits in math, reading, writing, special education, gifted and talented, computers, arts, and behavior classes.

Janice started working for the LYSD eight years ago and has been working in Marshall for three years. She wants to teach until she is a very old woman. She loves her work because she enjoys working with children. Janice took a teaching job because her oldest daughter died of cancer at the age of 16. Her first daughter needed special help in school, so she decided to become a special education! elementary teacher to help children with special needs in school. The best thing about her job is the children because she thoroughly loves them.
