Teachers

Our family became a part of the LAM family when our daughter Kelly was in the 4th and 5th grade. LAM felt so much like family to us that I found myself spending more and more time here. Kelly is now a sophomore in high school. My husband, Darrel and I also have two sons, Kevin and Brian. Kevin is studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Idaho and Brian is in the Army Reserve while attending NIC.

I attended California State University in Sacramento; graduating with a degree in Early Childhood Education. We moved to Idaho in 2003. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, camping, and bike riding. I love my job at LAM and enjoy the wonderful staff and families that are a part of LAM!

My family and I moved to Coeur d'Alene in June of 2008. Prior to living here, we resided in Valencia, California.

I am married to Steve and we have two children. Lexi will be a high school freshman and Lauren, sixth grade. Steve is a Sales Manager for Wells Fargo in the mortgage area of the bank.

I attended Moorhead State University in Moorhead, Minnesota. Upon graduation, I moved to California to pursue a teaching career. I taught second, third, and fourth grades during my fourteen year career. During that time I obtained my Liberal Studies degree from the University of California Bakersfield. I also started my Master's of Education degree during that time.

I enjoy tennis, running, and hiking with the family. Steve and I attend all gymnastic, volleyball, and tennis events that our children compete in during the respective seasons.

What a blessing to be here at LAM, and to be a part of these families' lives! I earned my teaching degree from Eastern Washington University, spent a couple years substitute teaching, landed my first full-time teaching position here six years ago, and have been happy ever since! After teaching first grade for four years, I finally graduated to second grade and couldn't be more thrilled to come to "work" every day! When I'm away from LAM (which is not often), I can usually be found hanging out with my son and our dog around our neighborhood park.

What a blessing it has been for me to be part of this wonderful Christian school. The daily doses of my student's love make my job truly a gift. My educational background is in Early Childhood Education as well as Business. My passion is to lovingly educate each child that comes across my path.

I am so happy to be starting my second year as part of the LAM family. I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism and never thought I would ever be teaching, yet God had other plans for me. I have been working with children for about fourteen years now and loving it. I taught Preschool for four years and was then blessed with the opportunity to stay home. After ten years of educating my kids, teaching Sunday school and directing VBS for my church I was led back to the classroom. Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in the education of your little ones.

I am the mother of four very handsome young men! I have a BS in Speech Communications and have been performing as a musician, actor, model, singer, director, producer, photographer, makeup artist and performance coach for many years. I have appeared on TV, film, stage, radio and a variety of modeling spreads. I also have the honor of being the Worship Leader at Journey Ministries and I teach private voice, piano, guitar, modeling and acting lessons. I am truly honored and amazed God has put me in this position at LAM. I love everything about the arts and am so excited to share this passion with your children.

Growing up with a professional artist for a mom has given me a lifelong love of art. My degrees are in writing and in communications from Whitworth University, and my first career was in editing, graphic design and printing, which I left to become a full-time mom thirteen years ago. I have a daughter, who attends another school where I also teach history, literature, writing and art, and a son, who is new to LAM this year. My husband is self-employed doing remodeling work. When it was time for me to return to the working world, God opened doors to put me on the path of teaching.

Welcome to LAM Extended Care! My name is Anna Keller and I have worked for and with Lutheran Academy of the Master since 2006. I truly began in 2005 as a volunteer room mom when my daughter was a little lam herself. I have found such joy with this school that I couldn't be more pleased. All of these children show me, everyday, the sheer beauty and grace of God and I can't tell you how much I love sharing that back with each of them. I have been blessed.
