Hello! My name is Mrs. Palecek. I am the elementary physical education teacher here at Valders Elementary School. I can proudly say that I love my job!

I grew up just outside of Valders on a family farm. I wouldn't give up growing up on a farm for anything! I am a graduate of Valders High School and also of the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse. I am currently going for my Master's Degree in Educational Technology from Marian University.

Outside from Valders Elementary, I also help coach the Varsity Girls Basketball Team. On my own time, I enjoy being active and going to the gym, biking (both road and mountain), snowshoeing, running, playing tennis, and going for walks. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and being with my family and friends.
