Instructor Biography - Joni C.

Art Class; Trailblazers and Explorers (levels 1 and 2)
Joni C.

 Hello! I am excited to have an opportunity to teach two of the Art classes this tear. I have homeschooled all of my nine children these last 22 years or so. Some years before that, I attended Mass. College of Art. I have taught art in another co-op, had a stained glass class at my home for teens, and had a week long Art camp for kids also. I believe that using Art to express oneself is a gift from our creative "Creator  God". I am hoping to use the Suzuki model of looking at Fine Art  work through history(1850-modern times), and learning from them. I spend most of my time working with and enjoying my children and, now, eight grandchildren. We have a small farm, where we raise sheep, goats, chickens, and a large garden for canning and freezing. I enjoy reading and doing artwork.

Instructor Biography - Leah F.

Leah Ford is returning to the FAITH team for her 2nd year, exposing children to the wonderful world of art.  She enjoys getting her hands dirty along with the students and finds much satisfaction working with such creative minds.  Her passion for drawing and painting began as a small child and grew wildly through high school and college.  She enjoys studying architecture, interior design, and art and is excited to share her passion with FAITH.  

Leah and her husband live in Manchester with their home schooled children.  She enjoys running, cooking, crafting, painting, and reading with the family.  Another passion of Leah's is helping those through her mobile massage therapy business.  Working with muscles and tissues day to day has truly given her a different perspective in the art of the human body.  How wonderfully each of us were created and formed!

Assistant Director Biography - Winnie L.

Winnie Lowne lives and homeschools with her five children and husband in Bow, NH. She completed her teacher training at Houghton College and before kiddos taught Title I, K-5 science, grades 3 and 5. She enjoys running, swimming, snowshoeing, handwork, gardening, and cooking. She is passionate about hands-on, experiential learning.

Instructor Biography - Richard H.

Richard teaches for four reasons. First, Truth exists. Second, ideas matter. Third, people matter. Fourth, God designed him with a passion to communicate the Truth.

Since the ideas people believe shape their lives and the communities in which they live - family, church, town, nation, and world, Richard endeavors to shape the lives of students by exposing them to the Truth through inductive and deductive strategies. By tapping into the God-given desire to learn, Richard takes the lessons of history and applies them to the lives of the students. He earned his MBA from Plymouth State University in 2009. He enjoys chess and woodworking.

Instructor Biography - Janelle K.

Janelle Kamerman is the mom of two girls and one sweet baby boy. She and her husband moved to New Hampshire from Arizona. Both she and her husband were raised in the southwest and have enjoyed learning about life (and snow!) in New England.

 As a child Janelle was always found coloring, drawing or learning a new craft. After high school she went to a small liberal arts college in Michigan where she studied Art and Art History. She earned her BFA degree with a professional studies concentration in teaching. During her college years she had the privilege of spending a semester on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico studying Native American art and culture and student teaching. She also spent a month studying art history in Peru. These experiences brought on a new appreciation for art and culture.

After college she moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she taught art to grades one through eight. She enjoyed the daily interaction with the students, encouraging their creativity and artistic abilities. She is excited to teach in the classroom setting again and is looking forward to another exciting year of learning about the historic art of the world.

Director Biography - Kristina M.

Kristina M. is passionate about people, learning, living life, and FAITH!  She is extremely excited to have the opportunity to be a part of FAITH.  As a Pastor's kid and the first born child she excelled in roles of leadership from an early age and could often be found in a Sunday School classroom teaching or on stage singing.

After graduating from American International College she found herself in the most challenging role of all, motherhood.  For the last 14 + years many of the experiences and gifts she has have been focused on creating opportunities for her children.  From co-cordinating a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group to embarking of the third year of FAITH, Kristina is grateful for the ability to serve in this capacity and along side of so many gifted friends.

Kristina often shares that this program is an amazing answer to prayer.  As the mother of five children ages 2-15, she found it challenging to find a place with the ability to meet all of her children's needs.  At FAITH they have found their perfect fit.

Instructor Biography - Sheryl G.

Sheryl G. is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and is the founder of SKETCH, a local children's art history program.

She is passionate about turning children's natural curiosity about history into hands-on activities that will inspire, enlighten, and entertain. Explaining how God put all of the pieces of the history puzzle together is a fascinating challenge that she thoroughly enjoys.

Known as the most overly organized member of the FAITH leadership team, Sheryl enjoys well deserved ribbing for having lessons planned far in advance. Her 3 children are all part of the FAITH program, where they happily enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Sheryl is careful to present history in an approachable way, even for the youngest and most sensitive students. If you are concerned about the history topics that we will be covering in the coming year, feel free to learn more about how she presents delicate topics to young children, providing them with context and comfort.
