Merilee Sorensen

Madison Middle School
Computer Science Teachers
My name is Merilee Sorensen. I live in Southeast Idaho with my husband and our four children. I have been teaching 5th grade for 13 years. Teaching science and computer science are among my favorite subjects to teach, and I have had the opportunity to be involved in the development a computer science program at our school that seems to be well loved by the students. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family in the outdoors doing things like hiking, camping, rafting, cross-country skiing, travelling, etc...
