Cornerstone Prep Announces Intern Program


First Intern Hired

Gardner Hobson becomes Cornerstone Prep’s first intern. Gardner will work full-time, playing a significant role in the launch of the school. Gardner will spend time with students in the classroom, with parents in the community and supporting Principal Lisa Settle in the office.  

 

Recent Graduate of Samford University

Gardner recently graduated from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama with a degree in Sociology. She has been working with Kindergarten students while finishing her degree. In the summers of 2008 and 2009, she was on staff at the Binghampton ministry Service Over Self (SOS), where she grew close to many children in the neighborhood.  

 

Love of Kindergarten Environment

Gardner shares her excitement about joining the Cornerstone Prep team: “I am even more excited about my upcoming opportunity at Cornerstone Prep because this past semester I worked in a Birmingham city school as a Kindergarten teacher aid and it confirmed to me that I love being in the classroom environment.  I love seeing children excited about learning, and I want children to feel loved and wanted at school."

 

"I Want to Be Here."

"After learning about Cornerstone Prep and its values and mission from Drew Sippel, it truly confirmed to me that I want to be here.  I want to be in Memphis, I want to be in Binghampton, and I want to be at Cornerstone Prep - I really feel the Lord calling me to all three places.  I really could not be more excited about working at Cornerstone Prep, and I am so grateful for the opportunity given to me.”  

 

Please join us in praying for Gardner as she joins the Cornerstone Prep team.
