Please help me welcome Mrs. Skatvold back to the Centerville School District!
About Me:
My name is Sarah Skatvold and I will be coming back to Centerville to teach 4th grade! I truly enjoy the strong sense of community here. The supportive environment and great relationships among students, families, and educators make it an ideal place to be. My husband, Josh, and I have two sons Spencer and Riley that have both graduated from Centerville. I have taught in middle school, elementary, and as a reading and math interventionist. I enjoy spending time with our sheep, cattle, and new puppy. When I am not at home, you might find me at a livestock show.
My Why:
I went into teaching because I have a passion for helping others grow and reach their full potential. The wonderful teachers that I had fostered that in me and I want to pass that along to my students. I've always found joy in sharing knowledge, inspiring curiosity, and creating a supportive environment where my students feel recognized and appreciated.

Welcome Rena Bjordal to the Centerville staff:
About me:
My name is Rena Bjordal. I will be teaching 5th grade this year here in Centerville. I live outside of town with my husband Matt and step-son Braden. I also have 2 grown daughters, Cassie and Lexis and a step-daughter Grace. I grew up in Iowa and moved to Sioux Falls in 2006. I taught in Sioux Falls for 17 years. I moved to outside Centerville in 2017 when Matt & I got married and love being back in a small-town community like where I grew up. When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family, friends and pets. We enjoy going side by siding in the Hills and spending time at Thunder Valley Dragway in Marion where my Husband and Stepson Drag Race during the summer. Some other things I love are camping, kayaking, reading and cooking/baking!
My Why:
Small town Community is what drove me to want to teach here at home. Here our school is one big family, connected and invested in each other's successes. Besides home, school is where students can learn how to be productive members of our community. I strive to make an environment of learning that is safe where students can explore, collaborate and control how they are learning. It's important to me to make sure students have purpose, autonomy and mastery of their learning. We are a community that works together to build each other up and support one another as we work towards goals and desired outcomes. If our community is strong, we learn the lifelong skills of teamwork, comrade, respect and collaboration. I am so excited to be a part of the Tornado Family!
