Welcome to the Farnsworth 5-8 science webpage!

My name is Nikki Staab and this is my 7th year teaching at Farnsworth upper. I am originally from Milwaukee, WI and moved to Minnesota 7 years ago to pursue my career as an educator, I've been at Farnsworth ever since! I am a proud resident of the east side community and on my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and of course, cheering on the Green Bay Packers. One reason I love working at Farnsworth is because Farnsworth has the best students and staff in SPPS. We are looking forward to a great 19-20 school year! Please see below for more information.
