Lathrop R-II School District

As a teacher Mrs. Dreesen values effort. She believes we all reap the rewards if everyone gives their best effort. Outside of the classroom, her passion is animal rescue. She’s worked with shelters, transported pets to forever homes, and cares for a variety of dogs and cats. Lathrop was Mrs. Dreesen’s first choice once she decided to teach after retirement. She continues to teach because she loves to keep learning and seeing what middle school kids can accomplish. We are grateful to have her!
