OFFICE SECRETARY, MRS. MARY CENTINARIO
​My favorite verse is Philippians 3:13 b New King James Version (NKJV)” ...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,”

This is my 5 ½ year at GCA. I am excited about this school year because I am looking forward to showing how I am rooted in Christ and looking for opportunities to share with staff and students how they can be too as I interact with them.

As I work in the office I hope to show the love of Christ to everyone I come in contact with including all teachers, staff, parents, students and visitors. I enjoy serving all of you!

When I’m not working in the office I enjoy spending time with my family at home playing games and hanging out. I am also active at my church. In my spare time I like to exercise.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

I am looking forward to serving the parents and staff at GCA for my 6th year.

My family and I attend Epikos Church in West Allis where I am involved in Hero Central (the children's program) on Sundays. I am excited to give birth to my 7th child in September, 2018. My husband and I will have 6 daughters and 1 son at that time!

I attend Oak Creek Assembly of God. I am excited about teaching at GCA because I love teaching children and being able to share Jesus with them in everything we do.

My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe teaching environment and to be able to help each child grow.
​
I just celebrated by 30th anniversary and have 3 adult children and 1 beautiful granddaughter who I love spending time with. I love fall and doing many outdoor activities.

2 Thessalonians 5:23-24 “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.”

I attend and intern as a youth pastor at Honey Creek Church in Wauwatosa.

I love to create things with wood and fix old furniture.
RESOURCE TEACHER AIDE, MRS. JUDY GIBAS
​I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Psalm 139:14a

As a K3 teacher, I am, dedicated to providing an atmosphere of love and nurturing; a place where your child can develop socially, academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I endeavor to make their first learning experience a positive one. I want to instill in your child a love of learning, a love of God's word and its principles, and to teach them how to apply the word of God in their daily lives. I love getting to know and nurture each of my students, knowing that the Lord has purposely placed each student in my class, for his divine purpose!

I have been a part of Bridge Church (Previously Waukesha First Assembly) since 1981. I currently am involved in a home fellowship group, am part of the Meal Wagon, serve in the Information Booth, and am involved in the Heart Whisperers Prayer Ministry.

You may find it interesting to know that I am one of 11 siblings!

​My life/favorite verse is John 3:16. It is important to me because, I knew the verse as a child, but it made sense to me after becoming a Christian.
