Hiring Lyndee Barmes Completes the Cornerstone Prep Team

It is with great excitement that we announce Lyndee Valenzuela as our second and final Kindergarten teacher. Lyndee joins us from Vincennes, Indiana, where she taught. Lyndee graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University, where she majored in both Elementary Education and Exceptional Needs Education.  

 

"Thrilling to Freely Live Out My Christian Worldview"

Lyndee is thrilled to be a part of accomplishing the Cornerstone Prep vision. “As a Christian, I look forward to the opportunity to freely live out my Christian worldview with everyone in the educational community. I have a heart for urban youth, and I desire to see them reach their full potential!” says Lyndee.

 

Jumped at the Chance to Found Urban School

When offered the position on staff, Lyndee says she “jumped at the chance to be involved in the founding of a successful new urban Christian school.”   Lyndee desires to see students succeed, approaching her role with purpose. “Because I believe in the importance of continuous improvement in individual student performance, I am committed to administering assessments that drive my daily instruction. I will focus on achieving student success through effective progress monitoring and student data collection.”  

 

...And Preparation Has Already Begun!

Lyndee is already preparing for the first day of school at Cornerstone Prep. She recently spent 3 days observing 2 high-performing schools in New Orleans with our Principal, Lisa Settle, learning from some of the best urban educators in the Southeast.  

 

Please join us in praying for Lyndee as begins the transition to a new home in Memphis.
