Meet Mrs. Thoreson

By Bailey Dillon and Gaonou Lo

Newman Catholic started the year with teachers that have been here for years and teachers that are just starting here in 2010-11.  One of those new teachers is Mrs. Thoreson (high school level Spanish teacher). 

Before she came to Newman Catholic, Mrs. Thoreson taught at DeForest High School and Dodgeville High School, and was the department chairperson for all languages.  Mrs. Thoreson speaks fluent Spanish and has chosen it as a career because she enjoyed it in high school and she has also traveled to Spain and Mexico.  If she could teach a class other than Spanish, it would be interior decorating designing.  She also believes that there could be more technology equipment in the classrooms to help improve our school. 

So far, Mrs. Thoreson enjoys her students and the staff and she likes the atmosphere because it is a positive place to work.  Also, her husband, Mr. Thoreson, our guidance counselor, pays for her lunch everyday.
