I am Rita Kainz, the third grade teacher.   I went to school and graduated from Luverne Public School, Luverne, ND.   I went to Valley City State University.  I have taught kindergarten, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade at the McVille Public School.  I then began at the Hope School teaching fifth grade for one year, since then I have taught third grade.  Third grade is my favorite class to teach.

     Steve, my husband, and I reside in Hope.  We have four children, two daughters and two sons.  My son and daughter-in-law also live in Hope so I am able to see my grandson, Elliot, and granddaughter, Ainslie quite often to spoil them.  I enjoy reading mysteries, being with my family and friends, and traveling to Anchorage.
