About Our Teachers
Mrs. Finke
My name is Holli Finke and I am a speech language pathologist at Prairie Elementary. I attended the University of South Dakota, where I obtained my undergraduate degree in Communication Disorders and a Masters Degree in Speech Language Pathology. I started with the Worthington School District in 2007, where I find new and exciting experiences every day.
In my free time I enjoy trying to keep up with my three young children.
Mrs. Lindner
Hello. My name is Patty Lindner and I have been an ECSE teacher with Distict 518 for 16 years. Prior to joining the team here, I taught in Sioux Falls, SD for 4 years. I graduated from Augustana College and later completed my masters at Southwest State University.
I am married and have 2 children. I enjoy attending my children’s events, photography, and spending time outdoors.
Mrs. Spartz
While working in District 518 I have worked in Early Childhood Special Education and First Grade. Currently I teach in Early Childhood Special Education with children ranging in ages from three to five. I am married and have six children. I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and making cards. My main goal at work is to make a difference with the students I teach. I’m always looking for ways to make a difference in people’s lives if it’s even with the smallest act such as a smile or a friendly “Hello”!
