5TH GRADE, MRS. JENNIFER SIMON

My verse for the school year is Proverbs 16:24, Gracious words are a honeycomb; sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
It is my hope that my class will gain subject knowledge while learning about our Heavenly Father. My husband and I attend Divine Lutheran Church. We both enjoy volunteering and helping in our community. I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends. I love being outside in God’s great outdoors. Also I enjoy crafts: coloring, cross stitch, and scrapbooking. |
6TH GRADE, MRS. AMBER DONAHOE
|
My classroom verse for this year is Colossians 4:2-6 shortened to "Pray... Act wisely... Speak kindly..."
This year I am looking forward to getting to know my new students and creating a fun and exciting classroom. I also am planning on using more group work and student led projects. In my classroom I like to focus not only on content, but also on skills that students can take with them and use to continue to be successful after they leave my classroom. I attend Ridge Community Church. I am an alumna of GCA, I attended Grace from 3rd-12th grade. I am married, have a beautiful daughter, and a giant dog. |
7TH GRADE, MRS. JULIE SERGEANT

My verse for this year is Psalm 119:103a, "How sweet are your words to my taste..."
I am entering my 18th year at GCA. I'm excited about each and every school year. My family attends Elmbrook Church in Brookfield. I have been married for 28 years. All three of my children were born in different states! |
8TH GRADE, MRS. PATRICIA CAHAK
|
My verse for the school year is Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love”
It talks about being rooted and established in love so that we may grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. This is my 13th year at GCA. I am excited about new classes, new students, new room, everything! That more than anything students know how much they are loved and that together, we can accomplish anything! When I am not teaching I am spending time with family. |
