Welcome to First Lutheran Preschool!
Here at First Lutheran we have been providing quality education in a Christ-centered environment for the Havre community for over 50 years! It is our mission to give your child a setting where they can learn, grow, and develop physically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Through our programs, we seek to help your child to develop a healthy personality, form good values, and assist them in exploring the feelings and attitudes they will need to create a firm foundation for positive self-image and quality relationships within the family and community. All of this is done in a Christian environment where your child will be introduced to and encouraged in their faith, as we seek to expand their perception of God and develop an understanding of our place in God's creation.
First Lutheran Preschool offers classes for 3, 4, and 5 year olds. Our program utilizes the Handwriting Without Tear curriculum, which focuses on active teaching of handwriting skills. Research has shown that writing by hand improves creative writing skills, as well as assists in development of fine motor skills.

Trish Sands
I have worked at First Lutheran Preschool for many years now.
I started out volunteering and subbing for First Lutheran Preschool, then I transitioned into being an aide for two years. In 2005 I became a full time teacher where over the years I have had the pleasure of teaching in each of the age group classes offered here at FL; 3, 4, and 5 year olds.
I am married and have four children, all of them went to First Lutheran Preschool. We spend our free time in the great outdoors of Montana. We love hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and camping. We spend a lot of time in Fort Peck.
When I began teaching preschool, I found my dream job. I love what I do and I enjoy working with children every day and for that I am thankful.

I grew up in Havre, graduated from Havre High School, and earned a degree in elementary education from MSU-Northern. I enjoy reading and spending summers on the river, but I truly find myself the happiest when spending time with my children, Colton Kambri, Connor , Kyler , and Kaden. Growing up I attended First Lutheran with my parents, Paul and Carol Tonjum, and am so excited to have the opportunity to work in a place that holds such a special place in my heart.

I was born and raised in Havre. I have been married to my wonderful husband DJ for 20 years and have three beautiful daughters, Ryen, Adisyn, and Tahlyn. We enjoy spending most of our time watching our girls compete in sports and visiting our oldest daughter in Bozeman, where she is attending MSU.
I started working at First Lutheran Preschool in 2017. I look forward to seeing the kiddos and their smiling faces every day! There is so much fun and happiness that fills the school and it is such a blessing to be a part of it!
