Hi and welcome to Noah's Ark Preschool!

Hi! I am Mrs. Deb Owens the preschool teacher. This is my fourth year at John Paul II. I teach 3 classes: Pre1 Pre2 and Pre3. I have 15, 24 and 21 children in each class, respectively, for a total of 60 students!

Mrs. Melanie Putnam is the morning aide and Ms. Barb Haynes Ross is the afternoon aide.

My husband Joel and I live near the lake and enjoy much needed relaxation time in the summer on our boat. We have 3 grown children and 1 son-in-law. They enjoy “family time” on the boat too.

I graduated from Dakota State University with an Elementary Education degree and have spent the majority of my teaching career in preschool.
Thank you for allowing me to help instill Catholic values and to teach academic skills to God’s precious children.
