My name is Laura Blanksma, I am from Manhattan Montana. I went to highschool in Bozeman and enlisted in the U.S Navy for four years.I then graduated from Montana State University with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. From there, I taught for two years in a one-room schoolhouse, east of Jordan, Montana. Marriage and family brought me back home. I now teach at the local Christian elementary school and live on a farm and ranch nearby.
