My name is McKinzie (Kinzie) Paulsen and I am the 7-8 grade teacher here at Prince of Peace Lutheran School on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.  I attended Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, Wisconsin for high school and went on to continue my education in New Ulm, Minnesota at Martin Luther College.  I graduated with an Early Childhood Education degree and now get to work with older students for a second year! Reading is one of my favorite things to teach as it is a thing I love to do in my spare time. I am married to Mike, who happens to be the Principal here at PoP. We are blessed with two children.  Ben, 3, is in preschool this year and a daughter, Ada, who is 1.  We love to spend our time outside.  We are blessed to work together every day to help students grow academically and even more importantly spiritually.
