Hello my name is Mrs. Holthaus. I currently teach 1st grade at VACDES. I've been teaching at VACDES for 15+ years.  I live with my wonderful husband and our three amazing kids. Our oldest son is stationed in Florida with the Coast Guard. We also have a wonderful lab named Bentley. My family enjoys hiking, biking, and camping. If I have a few extra minutes to spare, you will see me reading a book.
