My greatest joy about being an administrator is sharing my love of Jesus Christ with more people!  I believe I have been called by God to share the vision of Christian Education with as many people as possible.  Maintaining a distinctly Christian, excellent curriculum is what sets us apart as a school.

One of the greatest rewards of teaching is witnessing the joy and excitement on children’s faces when they are engaged in their learning and proud of their accomplishments. Another special reward is hearing children excitedly relate the day’s events to their parents.

The best thing about teaching is having the privilege of seeing the children's wonder and awe as they encounter God's amazing creation.

The joy I find in teaching is seeing the world through children's eyes and watching them discover God through His creation.

I feel blessed to be a part of the big picture of helping kids learn more about who God is by learning about his world.  More specifically, I love reading to and with kids, seeing them learn about the joys of reading for pleasure.

Third grade is such a transition year into more independent thinking and work. I am again encouraged by the effort each of these precious students of God make toward achieving our goals of being responsible for our own work.

I love watching a student who has been struggling with a concept for a while light up when he/she finally gets it!  It humbly reminds me of this verse, "'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11

 I enjoy teaching very much; the variety in the student’s personalities and abilities makes every day and every class period unique. It is especially gratifying to see students grow in their knowledge of God and His creation and then see them later in life continue to walk faithfully before God in different careers. 

There are many joys about teaching, but my greatest pleasure comes from the success you feel at the end of the day when you know you have taught one kid one thing - or a whole class a whole lot of things, it doesn't matter. Seeing the light bulb go on is one of the greatest joys anyone can imagine.  

I have been teaching at SCS for 25 great years.  I have many joys to share about teaching!  I love a good discussion.  One of my greatest joys is an honest question which shows interest in the material.  I have enjoyed coaching soccer, basketball, softball, and track.  I love working with kids.  I love to see former students with families, working and serving Jesus Christ.

In 1997 I joined the SCS staff as the general music/choir teacher.  I have the unique opportunity to teach music to students in 5K through 8th grade.  The Christian atmosphere in the school allows me to incorporate God into every aspect of music.  Philippians 1:6 has special meaning to me as a music teacher :  " The one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion."  The most rewarding part of my job is helping students to develop the talents/gifts that God has given to them and using these talents to bring glory to God.

I am excited to be part of God's family at Sheboygan Christian. There is nothing more important than securing the eternal future of our children. Providing more children the opportunity to see Christ revealed every day is why we are moving to a new campus. It is a blessing to see our Father's hand guide us on this journey.
