She taught 1 st Grade in Abilene, Texas at St. John’s Episcopal School for four years. Jake and Temi moved

was easy. “We could not pass up the opportunity to be a part of a Christian school that teaches Christian
curriculum as well as pours scripture and God’s love into their students.” says Temi. She began teaching
at Snyder Christian School in 2017 as the Pre-K teacher.
