I love being part of such a supportive community and training up the little ones, and I'm excited about how God will use this school for His glory. I was baptized as an infant and made a profession of faith at age ten - God has always been faithful, and I incorporate my faith by pointing out God's faithfulness to the students every day. I enjoy baking, biking, tending our garden, growing plants and vegetables, and being in nature. Our son is in 7th grade and our daughter is in 5th grade, and we chose Donum Dei for its commitment to character formation and discipleship.

"Be ambitious for Christ! Be ambitious not for money or for selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for knowledge, for righteousness, and for the uplift of your people." - William S. Clark, Sapporo Agricultural College
