MADELIA, Minn. (KEYC) â Nineteen years of teaching side by side, doing what they love together.
That is the story of brother and sister duo Sara Loewen and Gary Sandmeyer.
âThe first year we were teaching here, we actually split a classroom. We did,â Sandmeyer said.
The two teach at Madelia Elementary School, where Loewen educates first-graders while Sandmeyer teaches fifth and sixth-grade math. They both say they love every second of it.
