TEACHER - LILA RODRIQUEZ
I started out as a part-time employee teaching painting. I loved it and wanted more. When I was offered the full-time teaching position, I leaped at the chance to teach more and didn’t look back.
I love to see the kids understand that scripture can be applied to real life and understand His word is important for growth. Academically and Spiritually growing with the children is a super-bonus for me.
John 13:5 - "Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which was tied around His waist."
spiritual advisor - CYNTHIA "Mother" Carruthers
The Children today need His teachings and we are giving these children life lessons on how to present themselves to others. It says a lot about a persons character when they shake hands confidently, use good manners, speak clearly, dress appropriately and have self-respect. I help wherever I’m needed here at Star Christian Academy and I love it and I love the children.
What we’re instilling in these children will last a lifetime. Todays children are lacking in many areas and I feel with our smaller class sizes, we are able to fill that void and that need that so many children have. The world of tomorrow will be a better place one child at a time. I truly believe that.
Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
