Hello!  My name is LouAnn Matous, and I am the Speech/Language Pathologist here at Freedom.  This is my fifth year with District 11.  In my 16^th year of teaching, I love working as a Speech/Language Pathologist with students in Kindergarten through Grade 5.  I am a native of North Dakota, where I attended school in a small rural town.  In 1992, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders from Minot State University.  I continued my studies there to receive my Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders in 1993.  I taught Speech/Language at Minot Air Force Base for 11 years, before moving to Colorado Springs four years ago with my family. 

My husband, Danny, retired from the Air Force in 2008, and we just celebrated our 21^st anniversary.  We have three wonderful daughters, Chelsey (18), Kaley (15), and Whitney (13).  When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and spending time with my family.  I can often be found in the stands at local middle and high school competitions (volleyball, basketball, track, golf), cheering loudly for my girls!   

I am a proud resident of the Wagon Trails Community, and enjoy seeing my students and their families out and about in our community (practicing their speech and language skills of course!).
