Dear Parents,
Welcome to the Fish Class! We have
an exciting year ahead of us as God directs each day.
Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his
steps.”
This is my third year at Village Christian Academy. I have been teaching
for five years. I am a graduate of Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa, GA,
where I had the privilege of meeting my husband. My husband and I are
blessed to be teaching in the same school. He teaches seventh and eighth
grade History here at Village Christian Academy as well as coaches JV
Boys/Girls Soccer.
Melissa Pritchard will be the assistant in our room this year. I am
excited about the talents and gifts she will be bringing to our
classroom. She has a son and a daughter who attend Village Christian
Academy.
My desire is
to serve God in whatever capacity He has for me and that is the joy of
teaching because we never know what each day holds. He has called me to
teach and I want to share my passion for the Lord with the students as
well. It is my desire that they not only leave this year with academic
knowledge but also with a love for the Lord and His word, the foundation
for our lives. Our class verse is Matthew 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus
said, “ and I will make you fishers of men.” Our prayer this year is that
the boys and girls will demonstrate what Jesus meant when He said this to
the disciples. I trust the students will learn what it truly means to
follow Jesus and live according to His ways. The students will have
opportunities to learn about others in the Bible who followed Jesus and
how they became “fishers of men,” during our Bible lessons. We will also
learn about children in other countries and how to pray for their needs.
I am looking forward to
teaching each of your children. They are a gift from the Lord and I
feel privileged to have them in our class. The Lord has blessed us with
the plan for this school year and we will continue to trust His direction.
Serving Him,
Hannah Person
