New Staff Spotlight: Sarah Leis, K-12 Art

We're thrilled to shine our Staff Spotlight on a wonderful new addition to our team and school family, Mrs. Sarah Leis, our new Art Teacher! While she is new to our staff, Mrs. Leis is already a familiar and valued member of our community as a BG Christian parent to her two sons, Theo and Ian.

Having already witnessed the school's impact on her own family, Mrs. Leis was drawn to join the faculty. She has "loved seeing their faith grow alongside their education" and is excited to contribute to the wonderful community of teachers and staff that has blessed her family.

In her art room, Mrs. Leis aims to foster an appreciation for art, creative exploration, and innovative problem-solving. She sees art as a powerful tool for discipleship and a reflection of our Creator. This vision aligns perfectly with our mission to help students discover their unique identity and purpose in Christ. Mrs. Leis believes that “Learning and practicing creative skills is one way we resemble God's image.” She is passionate about showing students how the principles of creative thinking apply to all aspects of life, from ministry to relationships.

A graduate of Adrian College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Mrs. Leis brings a wealth of experience from various teaching environments. When she’s not in the classroom, she loves playing board games and putting together puzzles with her family.

We are so blessed to have Mrs. Leis bring her passion for creativity and her heart for discipleship to our students. Welcome to the team, Mrs. Leis!
