We’re going to introduce our staff . . . .highlighting one member each week. Let’s begin with the newest first!
We happily welcome Ms. Jennifer Leonard as our Kindergarten teacher for 2010-2011. Ms. Leonard is an experienced pre-school and first grade teacher who brings a great love of children and demonstrated teaching skills to Good Shepherd. She and her husband have 2 daughters and live nearby in Eagle Rock. In her spare time, Jennifer is a huge reader; loves to do arts and crafts stuff, and enjoys spending time with her family, which includes a dog, 4 cats, and 2 guinea pigs! (She mentioned that she has a lot less spare time now than she did prior to Sept. 1st! )
Ms. Leonard has taught both pre-kindergarten and first grade since 2002. Her duties included developing curriculum as well as carrying out day-to-day classroom instruction and interaction with parents. Her former employers describe her as enthusiastic, dedicated, eager, contentious, and a team player.
Her interview committee was very impressed with her philosophy, her references, and had a great time as she shared samples of work completed by her students. The interview committee consisted of: Pastor King, Michele Gianoli (parent representing PTF) Andrea Sierra (kindergarten parent), Jeff Stewart (Church Council member) and Pat Friar (interim principal)
Currently Ms. Leonard is enrolled at a local college taking education classes to complete her credential requirements.
Welcome to Good Shepherd School !
