September 2022 Employee Spotlight

Congratulations, Mrs. Skinner, ICS second grade teacher!

How long have you been at ICS and what do you do?
This is my first year at ICS and I get to teach second grade!

What brought you to ICS?
I came across the 2nd grade opening in the spring when I started looking for a new school that would be closer to my home. I knew that I wanted to continue teaching 2nd grade, and God opened that door here at ICS! I came for an interview and immediately felt welcome and excited to be a part of the team. Teaching in a school where I can openly share the love of Jesus with students, partner with parents in caring spiritually for their kids, and work alongside other believers toward the same purpose and for God's glory is a unique opportunity. I am thankful to be a part of this community!

What is one thing that has happened at school recently that you'd like to share?
One of my favorite things about teaching is seeing the lights come on for students for whatever we are learning about at that moment. I get to see kids go from frustrated or feeling defeated one moment to confident and enthusiastically telling everyone about it the next. We've had several of those moments recently, and it makes my teacher-heart excited to be on this learning adventure with them.

What is your hope for your students and/or our school this year?
My deep hope for my class is that we would delight in knowing Jesus as the Good Shepherd and live grace-filled lives as part of His flock. We have been reading an allegorical story of Psalm 23 together and noticing the ways that Jesus is our shepherd that is pictured in that Psalm. It has been so sweet for students to begin noticing that because we have a Good Shepherd, they can live grace-filled lives toward the people around them.
