My name is Beth De Jong, and I teach Lower Montessori grades 1-3 here at Waukazoo. This is my sixth year teaching in this program. I have my Elementary and Fine Arts Composite Degree from Hope College. After graduation I substitute taught, worked as an Instructional Aide at Douglas Elementary, became a private homeschool teacher for a family and traveled, then worked as the Art Director for the Boys and Girls Club in Holland for four years before coming to Waukazoo. In my spare time I enjoy singing, playing a variety of instruments, and painting. I have been married for six years, and we are expecting our second child in June.
