John 16:33 says “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” This verse is an amazing source of encouragement, comfort, and confidence in my Jesus!
As my family starts its fourth year here at GCA (3rd year of me being on staff), we celebrate the wins from last year and eagerly anticipate the areas of growth for this new year. The Lord continues to open and close doors, bringing a steady calm in our lives. I can’t wait to see how all the students of GCA not only learn and grow but thrive this year. And we don’t need to worry, even when days are hard, because God’s got us in His hands!

BILINGUAL FRONT DESK MANAGER, MRS. NATY BARRIOS

My verse for this year is Joshua 1:9 "I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

I enjoy using my bilingual skills at GCA to help families, children and staff communicate with each other. I enjoy encouraging students to remember of who they are in Christ daily.

In my free time I enjoy camping with my husband, two kids, and dog. We enjoy playing board games, video games, swimming, and music. We have been members of Discover Church since 2015. We are actively involved in various areas of ministry such as Youth, Safety and Security, and Missions.

My verse for this year is Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit"
Serving in the office at GCA gives me the opportunity to encourage and support students, families, and staff each day. I find joy in helping create a welcoming environment where everyone feels cared for and valued. In my free time, I enjoy reading and taking walks, which bring me peace and renewal. This verse inspires me to live each day with hope and share that hope with those around me.

Hi, my name is Ashley Cichacki or Mrs. C. I have 2 boys and a niece that attend GCA. I also helped volunteer last school year, so I am looking forward to working with your kiddos again this school year and getting to know any new students that are going to be joining the GCA family! In my spare time, I enjoy playing Minecraft, building with Legos, and spending time with family and friends. I feel blessed to be an official member of team GCA! I am excited to get to know you and your families more. Happy school year!

MRS. JUDY GIBAS
[email protected]

This is currently my 26th year at GCA. I endeavor to instill in each child a love of learning, a love for God’s word and its principles, and to help them learn how to apply God’s work in their daily lives. My verse for the year is Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

I am one of 11 children. I love to do crafts, baking, watching old movies, and spending time in nature. I attend Bridge Church in Waukesha, where I have attended since 1981. I am involved in the Meal Wagon.

MRS. LISA HARRIS

My favorite verse is Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”

I attend Passion Church. I am excited about working at GCA because I love working with children and being able to share Jesus with them in everything we do. My philosophy is to provide a safe environment and to be able to help each child grow. I just celebrated by 34th wedding anniversary. I love spending time with my children and grandchildren.

MISS CINDY IWINSKI
[email protected]

My name is Cindy Iwinski and the children here at GCA know me as Ms. I - I am the k5 paraprofessional and this is my 5th year here at Grace Christian Academy. I am very proud that God led me here with open arms. I enjoy being here with the staff and most importantly the children are the sunshine of every day even if it's a cloudy one. I can be found with a smile on my face - through the day because I have God in my heart to lead me to happiness. I am a very positive person and always trying through prayer to keep the negative behind me. I am a faithful member of Jackson Park Lutheran Church. One of my favorite bible verses that help get me through the year is Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" In my free time I love to spend time with my family and of course my 4 amazing beautiful dogs Harley, Zelda, Riley and Hazel. I also enjoy reading and the beautiful seasons of weather in Wisconsin.

CUSTODIAN/HANDYMAN, MR. RAMON BARRIOS

I am excited to join GCA this year. I will be working with custodial and handyman duties. I enjoy camping with my wife, two kids, and two dogs. I serve on the safety and security team at the church our family has been attending since 2015. I have had the pleasure of going on many mission trips in North, Central, and South American countries.
