The 2009-2010 school year will be my tenth year at JCCA, and what a wonderful blessing it has been!  I love to spend daily time with students who love Jesus, and want to grow in their spiritual disciplines, as well as academics.  God has blessed and grown me as well, through this ministry.  It is my desire to bring warmth, encouragement, and acceptance into my classroom for every student. I am a graduate of Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri with degrees in both Elementary Education and Secondary Speech.  My husband, Dale and I have three married daughters and seven beautiful grandchildren.  I am truly grateful for the privilege of sharing life and ministry with the wonderful families of JCCA, and am looking forward to what’ s in store for this year.  God is doing a great, and “new thing” in this place.  Don’t miss it!
