Bio

Although the majority of Deborah's two-decade career in education has been as a teacher in pre-school and the primary grades in Lutheran schools, she has spent four years teaching English as a second language to students of all ages as a LCMS Youth Ministry volunteer to Japan. Deborah has been at St. Paul for fifteen years and is presently teaching second grade. She is a graduate of Concordia University, River Forest, IL, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education with concentrations in English Literature and Theology.

Deborah enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing handbells, camping, hiking, swimming, watching old movies and reading.

I believe that the purpose of a Christian teacher is to assist parents in carrying out their responsibility to provide a Christian education for their children. . . nurturing those children in my care spiritually, emotionally, academically and physically, encouraging them to achieve their full potential as children of God.
