Greetings, Middle School Families!
I hope your summer is off to a great start and that you are finding opportunities to rest, to have fun, and to enjoy quality time with your kids and loved ones. As you know, I have recently accepted the position of Middle School Principal at Lakewood Park Christian School. While this transition came about unexpectedly, I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to serve our students, families, and staff in this new role.
For the past eleven years, I have been the Elementary Principal here at Lakewood, and it has been an incredible blessing to Before coming to Lakewood, I spent nine years as a middle school Language Arts teacher in public schools. Though I have loved my time working at the elementary level in recent years, I'm looking forward to getting back to my roots! Middle school has my heart and offers a unique opportunity to love and lead students well in such a special season of their lives.
I'm very grateful for Mr. Orth's leadership these last two years, and I appreciate the foundation he established for what we know as middle school at Lakewood Park. As I step into this role, my commitment is to build upon that foundation while continuing to strengthen our partnership with families. Middle school is a unique season of growth—academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Our desire is to help create an environment where students are challenged to grow in their knowledge, deepen their faith, develop strong character, and discover the gifts God has given them.
Thank you for your continued trust and support of Lakewood Park Christian School. I will be working closely with our staff to prepare for an excellent school year. I look forward to getting to know each of you better and partnering together as we support your children. It is a privilege to serve this community, and I am eager to see what God has in store for our middle school in the year ahead.
We've got a whole month left of summer break, so enjoy it!
Got is so good!
Mrs. Yoder
