Ms. Kate Veldkamp
Grade 3.1
PICS became an important part of my life at age 5. I attended this school from Kindergarten to Grade 12, returned as an EA a year later, and currently serve as the Grade 3.1 teacher. I love teaching, and especially enjoy giving back to the community that raised me in the fear of the LORD.
I believe children are a blessing. They deserve respect and care, and opportunities to be curious, wonder, and grow. A Bible verse I share with my students is 1 Timothy 4:12. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
In our school, we encourage students to deepen their relationships with their Father, grow in faith, share their love for God, see His work in every subject, and follow Christ's example. Above all, I pray each of my students will find peace and comfort in God.
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4
Here's to another year of teaching and learning at PICS!
