Elementary education degree, with a concentration in instrumental music, from Concordia, Seward, in 1996. Middle School endorsement from Morningside in 2010. Teaching for 16 years, started at Immanuel Lutheran in Lockwood, MO. 1996-2000. Here since 2000. Central has a great family atmosphere, which I have seen at all the Lutheran schools with which we've been associated. It is the involvement of students, parents, and other partners in Christian education that makes Lutheran Schools special. The ability to worship with students' families is an added bonus that can't be equalled in any other setting. I enjoy woodworking and home improvement projects, as well as a little gardening.
