Meet the new Assistant Principal at Red Oak Elementary School in Shakopee! Our nephew, Ford Rolfsrud, will fill the newly-created position beginning this fall. Ford is presently an Assistant Principal at Shakopee's West Junior High. He has worked in the Shakopee School District since 2005, first as a teacher. Ford and his wife, Jennifer, have a daughter who will be entering elementary school next year. . . but not at Daddy's School. :( There are five elementary schools in Shakopee. Ford's new responsibilities will be decidedly different than presently at the highly hormonal junior high, now in its annual throes of spring restlessness.
He has coached the varsity tennis team, building a fledgling organization into a contender. This is the first spring he hasn't been involved with coaching, giving him an opportunity to spend more time with district taxpayers like his Uncle Stan. (See below) For more information about this really great guy, check out his family blog linked elsewhere on this page.
Red Oak Elementary is a new school located south of the 169 bridge over the Minnesota River in Shakopee, just south of the Southbridge shopping center … and within walking distance of the White Castle there!
Meet us for lunch, Ford?
