Hello, my name is Beth Leiding and this is my seventh year teaching Physical Education here at
St. John Vianney! I was born and raised in Fairmont, attending St. John Vianney School from 1 st
through 4 th grades. I graduated from Fairmont High School. I then attended Minnesota State
University in Mankato, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education
and Middle School Math endorsement. My husband, Josh and I live on the original Leiding
family farm and have four daughters: Jaiden (23), Gabriella (11 th grade), Saige (11 th grade) and
Amalia (9 th grade), and this September we are gaining our first Son-in-Law, Dylan! I spend my
spare time attending all my girls’ athletic activities and being a farmer’s wife. I have taught in
various area schools over the past 20 years but am thoroughly excited to be teaching at my
origin! I feel blessed to be teaching in this wonderful school environment, with amazing staff
and students, and I look forward to many more years ahead! I look forward to implementing
some brand new technology in Physical Education here at SJV in the near future, so I can use a
lot of fun movement in my classroom!
