Why I love teaching: As a child I always loved school and wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. God brought me to Veritas as a 1st/2nd gradeteacher in 2006, and three of our sons attended Veritas through 2014.I returned in 2023 and especially appreciate the homeschool/Christianschool balance, the prayerful leadership of Dave and Bev Kinsey, andthe excellent curriculum. Mathew 19:14 “Let the little children cometo me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs tosuch as these.” It is a deep honor and privilege to partner withparents in raising their children to love and follow Jesus.
