After serving on the board for 4 years, I became principal in August of 2014.
It is a privilege to be working with parents who deeply care about the spiritual well-being of their children, and be able to help these parents in their endeavors, by God's grace.
I enjoy the student interaction and relationships, especially because it is ongoing. I am able to watch them grow up and mature year by year.
My time at HCS began in January of 2010, when a need was made known for another bus driver. There were two bus drivers at the time who were also both full-time teachers so I offered myself as a bus driver and did what I could to help out during the day. After serving in numerous positions over the next four years, I became the high school teacher in 2014.
I enjoy teaching and interacting with children, and specifically, with young adults. It has been most fulfilling to see boys and girls mature into responsible young people. Perhaps the greatest joy comes from the opportunity to teach God’s truth day after day, presenting Christ and his words as a real and tangible way to live life.
I look forward to the continued growth with which we as a school have been blessed over the years, as we all continue to learn from the Great Teacher.
My vision is for an increasing student body taught by an increasing number of individuals committed to following Christ and modelling his life.
This is my third year of teaching. I am excited to be a part in blessing the lives of children, working with the team of fellow teachers, and developing my own personal life and character.
My prayer is, "Yet Not I, But Through Christ In Me".
I have been at HCS for 8 years. I served for 2 years in the beginning stages of the school, and now another 6 consecutive years.
I enjoy working with students who have reading problems and ESL difficulties.
I’m a member at one of the local churches that started Hosanna Christian School, so I’ve grown up being involved in different ways. This is my third year as a teacher and I strongly believe in our mission at Hosanna. By interviewing parents for school videos, I developed a vision for Christian education. Hearing them share their hearts and burdens gave me a passion for giving them a safe place to learn about Jesus and His ways.
This is my first year here at Hosanna. My desire is that Jesus is lifted up and glorified in all that is done and said! Also that through this year the children would get a greater picture of who Jesus is and have a desire to follow Him with all their hearts! I enjoy teaching and seeing each child's eyes light up when a new concept is understood! Social Studies is one of my favourite subjects and is interesting to teach!
One of my favourite songs that is a prayer of mine goes like this.
Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown?
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?
Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I'll go.
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
Having interacted with the students occasionally through the past years has awakened my desire to be part of the staff that gets to do that on a daily basis through teaching. This is my first year at Hosanna, and I am excited to see how we can learn more about God through His creation by studying science. My prayer is that God would use me to influence the students to grow up to be men and women that God can use in His kingdom.
Children are such a treasure! I love their spontaneous and affectionate nature. It is fascinating to identify and cultivate potential strengths. Since we are trusting the Lord's guidance and grace, I envision God continuing to bless the work at HCS by preparing these precious children to become godly parents and leaders in the next generation. I've seen how God is blessing this work. Tender hearts are being molded. In my classroom, I want to be an example of living in the fear of the Lord, as well as a testimony to the children of God's goodness to His own.
I love children and enjoy investing in them through education. At Hosanna, I can be a part of creating a safe space for them to get a Christian education.
I enjoy watching the delight on their faces as they discover the world around them through Learning to Read, Mathematics, and the daily activities we do together.
I have been teaching at Hosanna for 2 1/2 years as a Teacher's Aide. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and when the opportunity came to be a part of Hosanna, I gladly accepted. In my spare time I enjoy drawing and creating art, so I teach art classes to throughout the whole school. I believe Hosanna does a really great job with teaching academics, but more importantly, teaching God's ways, words, and truths to our students. I truly enjoy investing in my students lives and watching them grow, not only in academics but also in the ways of Christ.
