J.D. Folger, Custodian at Pioneer: moved to Pierz for the schools...stayed for the great community

Picture
Hi! I’m J.D. Folger, custodian at Pioneer Elementary. I grew up in a small town and wanted the same experience for my kids. Pierz Schools was a big part of moving here. 

I am the youngest of seven. I attended grade school in Lowry, Minnesota and high school in Glenwood, Minnesota. I then went to vocational school in Pipestone for meat cutting. I have since worked in many meat departments including Coborn’s, Meyer’s Meats, Thielen Meats and Pierz Foods. I was then hired as a custodian at the elementary school and have worked here for over 15 years.

I have many interests. Golfing, fishing and spending time with my wife and family being at the top of the list. I also enjoy gardening, hunting, music and cheering on the Minnesota sports teams. 

Something that people might not know about me is that I enjoy to wood carve. I have carved many pieces including Christmas gifts for our kids.

"JD always has a smile on his face and cannot wait to help anyone who asks, and it doesn't matter if it is at 7:30 am Monday, 8:00 pm Thursday, or Saturday, he'll drop what he is doing and help.  He clearly believes that students and learning are, and always be, our priority and he makes it his priority too.  In short, J.D. loves working at Pioneer Elementary, and it shows every day!"--Principal Tom Otte

I enjoy my work for the schools. I look forward to seeing the kids everyday, and their excitement and smiling faces each day. I am proud to work for the District and this community.
