My name is Linda Kingery and I’m the music teacher here at St. Mary’s School. I grew up near Medford, Minnesota, then attending Concordia College in Moorhead. After graduating with a teaching degree in Music Education and a French major, I took my first job in Adrian, Minnesota. I met and married my husband, Gary, a farmer from Reading. We have 2 daughters and 1 son. My teaching duties over the years have included K-6 classroom music, beginning band lessons, middle school choir, high school choir, show choir and computer keyboarding. I retired from Adrian in 2012, thinking my teaching career was over. The next 7 years found me watching my first five grandchildren arrive and needing Grandma and Grandpa frequently for daycare. Then St. Mary’s called . . . and here I am, loving teaching again.
