Title: First Grade

My Stories

I have taught kindergarten and first grade for over 39 years. I teach First grade Reading, Math, STEM and Technology. I have been connected with CCS since its founding, as a supporter, parent, grandparent and now as a “retired” teacher who still loves teaching children! I love showing children the love of Jesus and fostering their relationship with Jesus. Teaching at CCS has given me the opportunity to pray with my students, teach from a biblical perspective, support parents and develop relationships!

In my free time I enjoy being with Family-my sons and their wives- and of course, spoiling my grandchildren- I enjoy cooking, baking bread, reading and sitting around the fire pit with friends and family.

My Stories

My favorite part of teaching at Cornerstone is the family atmosphere. Teachers, staff, and students care about one another. I love Christian education. Cornerstone is unique in the fact that a child’s heart and their relationship with God are of highest priority. Students are prayed over and shepherded. I love the grace of God in the process.

I love the freedom I have to daily pray with my students and teach them truths about God.

Mrs. Blosser enjoys reading and going for walks. Her favorite book is Hinds Feet on High Places.

Mrs. Wenger has been teaching for 23 years with 15 of those being at CCS. “I love the opportunity to invite Jesus into all we do in my class, to worship Him, read and learn scripture and pray together. Positive relationships with students, coworkers and parents are another blessing for me. I also enjoy the freedom to be creative in my teaching and to go on plenty of field trips.

Mrs. Wenger’s favorite Bible verse is Ephesians 3:20-21

My Stories

“I enjoy teaching here because I am able to bring Jesus, the Bible and Godly principles into lessons, all day long. At CCS, education is also about the “whole child” with age appropriate expectations. I am free to be a creative teacher, while going beyond the VA SOLS.  I greatly value the relationships with families and staff that I’ve developed over the years. CCS is my school family.”

Mrs. Stevanus enjoys hiking and reading. 

Her favorite book is The Mitford Series by Jan Karon
