God’s presence and love is felt as soon as you walk through the doors of Good Shepherd. It is a blessing to touch the lives of students and help them grow in the knowledge and love of God. I have always loved teaching in a Lutheran school, especially in the junior primary, because it is a time of new beginnings, new friends, and new skills each and every day. I am honoured to be a part of the precious student’s learning journey and pray that they discover something new every day whether it is with their heads, hands or hearts.
