Why I am excited to teach at SCS: I am blessed to be able to teach at SCS.  Two very important things in my life are my God and my family.  Daily at SCS, I am able to share my passion for serving the Lord with these special covenant children.  My family is also important in my life and one very special thing about SCS is that the students are like a family.  Every day is a new experience at SCS and a gift from God where His fingerprints are made evident all around.
