Hi, I'm LeAnn Siekman, 7/8 Science Teacher at DC West Middle School. This is my 14th year teaching middle school science at DC West. Middle school has always been my favorite!
My husband, Darren, and I have been married for 34 years. We have two children, Allison and Grant who are both married. Allison has a Ph.D. in biochemistry and Grant is an actuary. Our first grandchild, Nathan, is 6 months old and we have a granddaughter that is due in November! My husband and I have two Shetland Sheepdogs that are both 7 years old - Husker and Tucker. One of our favorite things to do is to take school groups to Washington DC. We have now taken 17 groups of kids from Waterloo and DC West.
In addition to teaching science, I have spent a lot of time working on state science assessments. It has really helped me to better understand the expectations of Nebraska State Science and I have met some wonderful science teachers from across the state!
