Meet Miss Kate (Kaitlyn Hostetler)

I enjoy: Reading (usually near my goats), Writing

I want my students to: See the world thoughtfully, and to see how so much of it, including ourselves, are small parts that make up a bigger whole.

I teach because:
I love learning, and I want to help others share that love
I love to develop friendships with my students
I love watching students grow in both confidence and maturity

My students have taught me: That flexibility and a listening ear are what help make a good teacher

I want my students to:
Realize they have an important role to play in the Kingdom of God and in the communities of school, church, and Holmes County

I teach because:  I love discussing things with my students. We discuss anything from the role of passion in public speaking, to women in ancient Japan, to career choices.

My students have taught me:
To have a passion and zeal for God

To care for friends
To take time to laugh
That preparation changes life

A verse I love: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
