Mrs. Staples

My name is Kara Staples and I currently teach Kindergarten through third grade music at Winterquist Elementary. I reside in my hometown of Cloquet and graduated from Cloquet High School. I completed my Bachelor of Music degree at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. My teaching career began in Nashville, where I taught for 3 years before deciding to move back home to Minnesota. I recieved my Masters of Education in Teaching and Learning from Saint Mary's University in 2007. I am so lucky to have been here In Esko for over 20 years, and I thoroughly enjoy each day with my students!

When not at school, I love spending time with my family, reading, and 
enjoying as much outside time as possible.
