Joni Brekken was born and raised in Crookston, Minnesota. She graduated from the University of North Dakota with a K-8 teaching degree in 1991. Joni has lived in Bismarck since 1995 and she and her husband Tad have two children, Celia and Caleb.
Joni is glad to be back for her third year at Christ the King working as an assistant in lower elementary. She enjoys spending her days with the children by helping them stay on task with their works, reading with them, listening to their wonderful stories and watching them grow in so many ways!
Outside of school Joni enjoys spending time with family and friends, going for walks, reading, watching classic movies and spending time in Adoration.
