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.

Lori’s Story:

Ms. Blosser’s favorite part of teaching at Cornerstone is the fact that the hearts of students and their relationships with God are of highest priority. She enjoys the freedom she has to teach students truths about God and to teach from a Biblical perspective. Another of her highlights is watching students as academic concepts begin to click and they get excited about learning. Outside of school Ms. Blosser enjoys baking, reading, walking, and playing with her grandson.

Esther’s Story

Mrs. Wenger has over 20 years of teaching experience and many years 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 the classroom and to go on several field trips.”

“I enjoy spending time with my husband, children and grandchildren.  Music, travel, reading, biking and hiking are some of my favorite things.  I attend church with my family at Cornerstone Church in Broadway, VA.”

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
