Mrs. Bruening is originally from Fort Atkinson, WI, and graduated from UW-Stevens Point with degrees in Elementary Education and Spanish in 2015. Prior to coming to Pine Island in 2017, Mrs. Bruening taught English/Language Arts at MHLT Elementary School in Minocqua, WI. When not in her classroom, Mrs. Bruening likes to bike the local trails, start a crochet project (and hopefully finish it), visit with friends and family around the Midwest, and scour bookstores for more books to add to the classroom library.
