I am in my ninth year of teaching kindergarten at Pella Christian Grade.  I feel very privileged to be able to teach my precious students from a Christian perspective.  What a wonderful place to serve the Lord!

I was born and reared in the Pella area.  I live on the Century farm where I was born.  My husband Jerry works at Kooyman Lumber.  We have two grown children and a new grandchild!

My favorite Bible passage is Phil. 4: 4-7.
