Our next new staff member to spotlight is Maddison Konecne!
Maddison comes to Wapello Elementary to teach 2nd Grade this year, her second year as a teacher. She is a Southeastern Community College and Northwest Missouri State University graduate with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education.
Maddison's family includes her husband, Carter, and their two puppies, Hazel and Drake. In her spare time, Maddison enjoys spending time with family and friends, baking, and going shopping!
