This is my 44th year of teaching...all of them at OCS. I always enjoyed helping younger children. When I was in maybe 5th-7th grade, I had summer activity "camps" for neighboring children. God gave me a desire/calling to teach and I love it! When I got married and moved north, there was an opening at OCS and SCS. Much to my husband's annoyance, I was too afraid to try driving in the snow, so I refused to apply at SCS. To my delight, I got the job at OCS!
My Deep Hope for my students is for them to develop a wonder for God's world and to selflessly serve others.
