Welcome, Lynn Roukema!

Lynn Roukema, Preschool Aide

Tell us about yourself.
I am a Jersey girl and have spent my whole life here in the Bergan/Passaic area. I am a graduate of EC as is my husband and our children. Currently my interests are tied into my 4 grandchildren. My husband and I do like to travel and especially enjoy traveling wine trails.

Tell us the story of how God brought you to work at EC.
I have taught in preschool settings for many years. But, not in a Christian school. When the school I had been working for closed, I took a position at Unity after school program. I love working in a Christian setting. But, I did miss the classroom. Working with the preschool brings me back to classroom again.

Why Eastern Christian?
EC has been a part of my life since I was in kindergarten. It is exciting to be on the other end of The EC school experience. I remember all my former teachers and how each one shaped my life. I only hope I can have the same impact on a child’s life.
