Welcome students and parents to 6th grade! I want to share a little bit about myself. My name is Brenda Henriksen and this is my 18th year teaching 6th grade at Hawthorn Middle North! I have been married for 12 years and have two beautiful children: Kyla who is turning 8 in November, and Cole (CJ) who will be 3 in October. I also have a black lab named Shooter who is 13. Some of my hobbies are reading, fishing, snowmobiling, biking with my family, baking, and relaxing when I can. My favorite color is turquoise, my favorite food is definitely pasta or roasted veggies, snacks I love roasted chickpeas (Good Bean) and Kind Bars, and my little secret delight is ice cream!!
I am looking forward to a great year with you all. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions. I will be utilizing canvas for most things this year. This is the first year I am using it so please be patient as we learn together.
Remember, the road to success is always under construction! Here’s to a year of dodging detours and keeping the end goal in sight!
Mrs. Henriksen
