About Mr. Vonk |
PersonalMy full name is David Vonk and I was born and raised in Rock Valley, IA. I have a Wife, Tricia (Postma), and 3 children. My oldest, Camden, is in 3rd grade this year. Pacey, my middle child, is in 1st grade this year. Aria, my youngest, is going to 3 year old preschool in Doon, Iowa this school year. We love to do things together as a family. One of our favorite things to do is to go camping. We all look forward to our 10 day camping trip in Yankton each year. You could also find us at River's Bend on many weekends during the summer. Personally, I am a big sports fan and love watching, playing, and coaching all sports. We are big Rocket and Nighthawk fans and love to watch our high school athletes play!

ProfessionalI graduated from Rock Valley Community Schools in 2004. From there I went to the University of Sioux Falls and graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. Canton, SD gave me my first teaching job. I taught 2nd grade for one year in that district before coming to Rock Valley in 2009. I taught 2nd grade in this district for 6 years. I also held an Instructional Coach position in 2014 in Rock Valley.
I took a two year hiatus from the education world when I joined my father and uncle in a business opportunity. It was a great experience that I do not regret. It has given me a whole new perspective on our world and it will only help me become an even better educator! In 2010 I began my graduate studies at Dordt College. I graduated in 2013 with my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I currently hold a Master Educator and Administrator License in the state of Iowa. |
