4A teacher
*Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education with an area of emphasis in Special Education
from Dordt College in Sioux Center, IA
*Coaching Endorsement and over 30 hours of post-graduate work completed, mostly from Drake University
*I taught first grade at Orange City Christian from 1980-81, first and second grades at Inwood Christian from 1981-1984, fourth grade at Oskaloosa Christian from 1984-87, and Kdg.-5th grade PE at Pella Christian from 1987-88.  Since 1988 I have taught 4th grade at Pella Christian except for 2001-02 when I taught 5th grade.
*I am in my 27th year of teaching (my 20th at PCGS) and continue to enjoy the daily joys of working with children!
    I have been married to Bruce Groenendyk since July of 1980 and for most of those years we have lived on the Groenendyk family farm.  (We spent 1 year in Sioux Center, IA, and 3 years in SW Minnesota before moving here.)  The Lord blessed us with two sons:  Alan, who is 21, and Nathan, who is 17. 
    My hobbies and interests include gardening, tennis, running, reading, and music (singing, playing organ, piano, and clarinet). 
    I love teaching!  The daily variety, challenges, and joys make every day a new experience.  It is such a joy to let the light of God's Word shine through all subjects and aspects of the day.  A favorite Bible passage of mine is Romans 12:9-21 because it provides such a complete set of guidelines for daily living.
