Shiloe Harsma - Head TeacherI grew up in Flandreau, South Dakota with my parents, Paul and Stephanie Amdahl. I attended college at Dakota State University and graduated in December of 2010 with my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a K-12 Reading and K-12 Technology Minor. I renewed my degree in July 2016 and 2021.
My family consists of my husband (Chris), my daughters (Josephine and Clara), and my son (Jared). My daughter gave me a grandson, Owen, during COVID-19. We live just outside of Madison, South Dakota on a small acre. We love animals of all kinds and have had many different kinds, but currently we only have a dog named Teddy. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cross-stitching, playing video games, watching movies, playing the piano, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to a great school year! |

Brenda McDonald - Preschool Teacher, Support StaffI grew up in Tucson, AZ and graduated from the U of A with a Bachelor's in elementary education. After my husband retired we spent 16 years being snow birds between Tucson and Madison. We have been involved with Madison Christian School since 2007. My husband passed away in 2019.
I have volunteered as an aide in preschool for 5 years. In January 2021 I took over the second year preschool class and continued through the 2021-2022 school year. My biggest "hobby" is volunteering, be it at MCS or Encore or church. My spare time is occupied by Bible study, TV mysteries and socializing with friends. I have a step daughter who has 3 daughters and 7 grandchildren. I do not have any pets, but I do have a black thumb when trying to grow plants. |
