Note from Secondary Principal, Wendy Hofman:
What a joy it is to be at Lansing Christian School. I can hardly remember a time when Lansing Christian was not a part of my life. As an 8th grader I remember fall retreats at Yankee Springs, I remember choir concerts in the gym, and I remember the close relationships that I had with my teachers - including my English teacher, Miss Somerville!
My first and my second teaching job were both at Lansing Christian. As our three sons attended Lansing Christian I was able teach vocal music on a part-time basis. The opportunity that I’ve had to work with the choirs, making beautiful music with kids, has been my calling and my deep joy for the past eight years.
As I assume the role of Secondary Principal at Lansing Christian, I will continue to direct the High School Concert Choir and the Chorale. I am thankful and I am energized by the opportunity to serve our school in this broader capacity. I look forward to knowing all of the students by name, and I take very seriously my role to be an example: To guide, direct, and encourage our students as they live out their teenage years in our hallways and classrooms.
I have high regard for our teaching staff. I know from my own experience that caring deeply about kids, holding them accountable, modeling a Christian life, continually growing in your discipline, and teaching it from Christian world view is a job that requires deep commitment and a willingness to continually learn new things. This year our staff will continue to improve and grow in our ability to provide the very best Christian Education that we can.
Partnering with parents is what we do at Lansing Christian. You will always know your children better than we do. We need you, and you need us. Together, we will come along side your children to help them grow in their relationship with God and in their knowledge of God’s world. “Created for a Purpose” is our theme this year. Helping students discover and develop their God-given gifts is our highest calling in Christian education. I look forward to fully exploring this theme with our students this year.
Yours in Christ,
Wendy Hofman
