About Me
I am married to Tim and we have 3 boys: Dylan, Tommy, and Sam, all of who have graduated from LCS. I was blessed to stay home with them for 10 years, until going back to teaching. I spend my free time with family and friends, participating in a small group, baking, walking, leading Bible study and various projects around on our house.
Church: Hope Community Church
Volunteer Roles: Sunday school teacher, Bible study leader, care team, kitchen
Philosophy
I believe as an educator that my role is to serve as a guide and leader to the children that God entrusts to me. My first goal is to teach them about the love and gift of salvation that Jesus has for each of them. I want them to learn to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind, and to love their neighbor as themself. My second goal is to help them develop a life-long love of learning by making learning fun, active, and meaningful.
I believe that God created us all special and unique, and therefore, no two children are exactly the same, or learn the same. For that reason, I have a lot of variety in our classroom, from whole group, to small groups, to partner/individual work time, as well as hands-on, musical, kinesthetic, and visual activities throughout the day.
I encourage academic excellence because we want to give our best to God everyday!
