Together ,we discover, invent, sing ,dream and PRAISE. I also enjoy camping,canoeing, hiking, reading and doing laundry. Past experience includes, working in JK and teaching the primary grades. I'm looking forward to learning with my students this year. |

I have taught all elementary grades in a variety of school in Ontario. I am extremely thrilled to be teaching Grade 2 at WCS. I enjoy helping make student's first experience at school a great one. Through play, music, stories and much more I seek to show students who God is and how much He cares of each one of them. When I am not busy with school I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children. I enjoy camping, swimming, music and cake decorating.

I have been teaching at WCS since graduating from Calvin College. I love teaching and leading children to know more about their God, his love for them, and his amazing world. My love for school and learning started the day I went to kindergarten. I also have a love for drama which has lead me to coach many children in the musicals and plays we have performed at WCS. |
