Hi!  My name is Jill Willems and I'm the Elementary Art Instructor for Iola-Scandinavia Schools.

     I was born and raised right here in the town I teach in.  I live in Iola with a small family, just my husband, one daughter, one little dog and myself.  I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1989.  I am in my 20th year of teaching at I-S and still loving what I do.   I am often asked by the students why I chose to become an art teacher.  The answer is so simple--two of the things I have always loved most in life are art and children, so I combined the two!
