Mr. Lenny has earned a Bachelor's in Film and is currently working on his teaching credentials. He has worked with children and in schools for over ten years. He brings to the CONQUEST Team creativity, a love of children that is contagious and draws the students to him, and an artistic mind that helps us bring to life the “Dream Big” projects that Mrs. Leonie brings to the table.
Mr. Lenny is a skilled film maker, and has helped our students create movies to showcase their learning in years past. His talents in writing, the arts, being flexible, and his fun personality are all an invaluable part of what makes the Napa Christian magic. We are thrilled to have Mr. Lenny as a teacher in the K-2 program working with Ms. VanHook this school year.
