Let me introduce you...
Next year, we welcome 61 returning staff to Oak Farm, with four staff concluding their tenure this past spring. We say goodbye to Macy McNaughton from Upper 3, Caleb Teder from the High School program, Kyle Black the Elementary and Middle School PE teacher, and Jodi Lambert the Primary 4 lead teacher. We wish all of these educators the very best in their next endeavors. They have each invested in Oak Farm’s students and made valuable contributions to our school, and we thank them for their years of supporting the Oak Farm mission. This year, we welcome several new faculty to our community including two secondary program teachers, an Upper Elementary teacher and a Primary assistant. We also see two faculty moving into new roles within Oak Farm; Bridget York has taken over as the Director of Curriculum and Student Services and Diana McCreery will be leading the Primary 4 classroom this year. High School Rikki Colon formerly led the Business and Entrepreneurship program at the Crossings School in Fort Wayne. This experience will assist her in her new role of high school Language Arts and Careers Advisement teacher. Wesley Kromer will join us as the High School Science teacher after recently graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology from Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids. Middle School Misty Schoof most recently taught at Garrett High School and brings her love of reading and writing to the Oak Farm middle school where she will lead English and Humanities. Elementary Elizabeth Danielson comes to us with 15 years of teaching experience and joins April VanOsdale in the Upper 3 classroom. Early Childhood Stacia Diggins, current Oak Farm parent and former substitute teacher, began her Montessori traning this summer and will join Diana McCreery in the P4 classroom as an assistant. So, flip the pages to learn more about our new staff and join me in welcoming them to Oak Farm as we begin our 20th year and celebrate what the future holds in store!
