Meet Mrs. Harp!

What’s your new ICS title and position?

I will be a full-time pre-k teacher.

Where are you from? 

I’m originally from Iowa. Utah is the fifth state I have lived in since being married. I have also lived in San Antonio, TX, Mandeville, LA, and various Chicago, IL areas. We moved to Utah back in 2006 when my husband’s company transferred him here for a project with Intermountain Healthcare.

Where do you go to church?

Our home church is South Mountain Community Church in Draper.

Tell us about your family!

Mike and I met in college and have been married 30 years! We have four crazy, amazing, growing and grown-up kids. Their names are Emily (28), Steven (26), Shelby (20 and attends CCU in Lakewood, CO) and Nate (17 and a senior this year). 

What is something most people don’t know about?

I love to sing and dance in my kitchen! My hobbies include singing, reading, journaling and studying my Bible. I also love the outdoors here in Utah and love getting up in the mountains! I enjoy spending time hiking, exploring and camping.

What are you most passionate about?

Having taught the 4 and 5 year old age group for 18 years, I am passionate about sharing the love of Jesus with them and exploring this beautiful world God has made! It also brings me joy to see them excited about learning something new.

What are you looking forward to most in your new role at ICS?

I love the mission statement here at ICS and how faith is infused in all that is done here. I am looking forward to working with an age group I love alongside other teachers and families who love the Lord in this community. I am excited to begin a new season of adventure and growth!

Meet Mrs. Saullo!

What's your new ICS title and position? Part-time Pre-K Teacher

Where are you from? If you're not originally from UT, how did you end up here? For the last 20 years my husband has been in the navy. As a result, I have followed him around the country, moving 13 times! I would still consider TN home though, even though I haven't lived there in over 20 years. It is where I went to middle school, high school and college. It's also where my family still lives!

Where do you go to Church? We only moved to UT two months ago, but we have attended Salt Lake Evangelical Free Church several times and so far it feels like where we are meant to be.

Tell us about your family! My husband is in a residency program at the University of Utah for occupational medicine. He is one of the most hard working and dedicated men I've ever known. We have three loving and adventurous boys. Our oldest, Nate, is almost 10. He is a voracious reader and has an overall love of learning. Our middle son, Dean, is seven. He is an excellent playmate with his older brother as well as his younger brother. I love watching him transition from one to the other! He excels in building, design, and overall creativity. Our youngest, Gabe, is five. Gabe loves nothing more than spending time with his brothers. Concrete facts are his strength! His knowledge of our world, especially geography, is mind blowing!

What is something most people don't know about you? OR What are you most passionate about? I love to design cut flowers. It is a skill I picked up almost 15 years ago and something that brings me such joy.

What are you looking forward to most in your new role at ICS? I look forward to the chance to get back into the classroom after taking some time off to be home with my boys. The opportunity to work where they will be attending school is an experience I have always dreamed of. Teaching at such a Christ-centered school is such a blessing to me. I'm excited to instill in my class God's love for them!

What else would you like the ICS community to know about you? This opportunity to teach again at ICS was 100% God's will for my life! I've never had so many doors fly wide open for any other experience, job, or decision that I've been faced with. God is good!

Welcome to ICS, Mrs. Saullo! We are excited for you to be a part of the lion community!
