About Me!

Hello, my name is Karen Hartung! I am one of the fifth grade teachers at the middle school. I grew up on a dairy farm in Elmwood with my parents, three older brothers, and one younger sister. I graduated from Elmwood High School in 2009 and UW-Eau Claire in May of 2014. I earned a degree in Elementary Education (Grades 1-8) and Learning Disabilities (Grades K-12). I am currently studying at St. Mary's University in order to obtain my Reading License and Master's in Literacy Education. During my free time I enjoy playing and watching sports, scrapbooking, reading, watching movies and hanging out with friends and family. This will be my third year teaching in the Ellsworth Community School District! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me by phone or email.
