My students have told me that I have “lots of favorites.” (It’s hard to narrow them down to just a few!) I love opportunities to play the piano, whether it be at church to help lead worship or at home by myself. The Pacific Coast is one of my preferred destinations to marvel at God’s creation and to relax and get refreshed. Books are certainly towards the top of my favorites list! I have lots of books at home and in my classroom, and sharing a good book with my students is one of the highlights of my day! Math has always been a favorite, and I find words to be intriguing, illuminating, and inspiring! After a busy week, I love to unwind with a crafting project, a card or board game, or a favorite crime drama. 

I am grateful for Sunnyside Christian School and for the people and experiences that have been a part of the past 38 years, and I am looking forward to seeing what Year 39 has in store. It is a privilege and a blessing to be a part of the SCS community!

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”  ~ Philippians 4:4-8
