Sarah says, "I am so excited that God has led me to KCS and look forward to working with all of the wonderful children in this community! I love learning and teaching all subjects, but I especially enjoy Science, Art, and Writing. In my classroom, I strive to develop a welcoming community in which we can laugh, learn, and explore what it means to serve the Lord alongside one another."
