Kindergarten
Kristin Hammond
The Lord truly opened this door for me to be a part of Rise Academy and I know He has amazing things planned! I got my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from KSU in 2013. I have 4 wonderful children and we have been homeschooling for 4 years. I have taught through other homeschool co ops and served as the Preschool Children’s Director in Ministry at our previous church in Tennessee. My children and I basically live outside, whether at parks, front yards, or going on adventures. If we aren’t outside, you can find me with my Bible, other women, and coffee! I find the deepest joy in fellowshipping with other women and walking with them through pain and suffering. I have walked through deep unwanted circumstances in life, and yet Jesus has walked with me every step of the way and has revealed to me a fullness of His presence and character, regardless of external circumstances! My own deepest wounds, have become my deepest healings. I desire to come alongside others as Jesus has to me! I can’t wait to have the opportunity to teach your children and also lead them in being a disciple of Christ!
