Bonnie Teigum

Bonnie Teigum returned to Mankato in 1974 as a single parent, focused on the goal of completing the degree she had started working toward in 1961. She accomplished that in 1977 and moved with her family to Las Vegas, where she went to work for the Clark County School District, teaching elementary and middle school for 28 years before her retirement. This scholarship has been established in her name to enable other single parents to propel themselves and their families toward their own dreams.
