Kindergarten: Cara Cline & Whitney Dhoore
Hello!
My name is Whitney Dhoore and I live here in Lester Prairie with my husband, Paul, our 2 children, Liam (12) and Charlotte (3), and our dog, Moose. I have taught Kindergarten and 1st grade here at Lester Prairie, and I have also taught at another district in a K1 combination class and 2nd grade. This is my 8th year of teaching.
I graduated college with an Early Childhood Education degree at Minnesota State University Moorhead and studied a semester at the University Of Hawaii Hilo through the National Student Exchange program. I absolutely love teaching here at Lester Prairie! The culture we have here is a great place with my colleagues, students, and families.
When I am not teaching, I am coaching dance in Hutchinson as the director of the Just For Kix program. I also love spending time with my family and friends. I love to go to concerts, going for walks, read, dance, movie nights, spend time outside, Fall and Summer time, and so much more!
Great communication is important for your child to be successful! Please do not hesitate to contact me at:

Welcome to Bulldog Kindergarten
Hello,
I am excited to have your child in my class. I am very excited to meet everyone see all the new faces and begin this journey in Kindergarten together!
A little about myself. I am Mrs. Cara Cline, your Kindergarten teacher this year! I live with my husband Alex, and two children, Avery (8) and Charli (6) in Lester Prairie. They keep me busy when I am not at school. I also love going to the lake, reading and I have a love for gardening.
This will be my 17th year in my teaching journey and is my second year teaching at Lester Prairie Schools. Before that I spent many years teaching in Hutchinson, and North Dakota. I have taught preschool, kindergarten, and special education.
I received my bachelors degree from Minnesota State University Moorhead. I was blessed with the opportunity to practice my teaching skills in Australia for 4 months before starting my professional journey back here in the United States. It was a wonderful experience.
In my experience, when parents and teachers communicate regularly, the child often has a happier, more successful school year. The more pertinent information I know about your child, the better we can effectively meet his/her needs in the classroom. It is my hope that this will be the start for a great deal of dialogue and communication between us.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and growing together!
Mrs. Cara Cline
