As we began the new '13-14 school year, we welcome our new office manager Sister Dannel Wedemeyer.

Office manager Sister Dannel takes all the phones calls, gives out the late arrival passes, deals with the attendance, and a lot more. 

Sister Dannel is from St. Louis, Missouri and is a diehard St. Louis Cardinals fan. She is also a School Sister of Notre Dame. Before Sister Dannel came and worked here at Red Cloud, she spent 16 years on the Standing Rock Reservation. Her motivation to come work at Red Cloud is to give back to the community and to work with Native Americans.  

Sister Dannel plans to come back and work here next year. She very much enjoys her experience here at Red Cloud. According to Sister Dannel, “There is never a dull moment.” One of the most fulfilling parts of her job is to be able to help the students, parents, and faculty with their needs. All the faculty are happy to have such a wonderful office manager, and they all hope to see Sister Dannel here next year.

“Red Cloud is a great place to live and work because of all the great people here,” says Sister Dannel.
