Mrs. Van Westen
My name is Linda Van Westen. I teach classroom music at Prairie Elementary. I received my B.A. in Music Education from Augsburg College and my M.A. in Education from St. Mary’s University. I started working for the Worthington School District in 1996. Before that, I taught music in Clarkfield, MN and prior to that, on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in McLaughlin, SD.
I really enjoy seeing children blossom and grow as people and musicians.
My husband, John, and I live in rural Lakefield. We have four children.
