MRS. MANSELL | JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN
I am thrilled to be back in the Live Oak community as a teacher once again! After teaching Grammar 1 while my husband did his PhD, we moved to Gainesville, Florida where my husband taught chemistry labs at the University of Florida. We both felt the tug on our hearts to return to Waco, specifically to Live Oak and the Baylor communities since the day we left! Originally from California, the Live Oak and Baylor communities truly became our home – we especially longed to have our three children attend Live Oak. Seven years later, Baylor called: Praise the Lord! It’s a dream to return with our family of five: Benjamin (G1), Samuel (JK), and Miriam (2yo). The Lord is so good, kind, and faithful. May He continue the good work that He has started!
Mrs. Mansell received her teaching credential in California. She taught G1 for 4 years and then moved to Florida where she taught 4th grade at The Rock School. She taught English online with VIPKid and tutored students while she raised her three children at home. The Mansells are huge LOCS fans and are so thankful that the Lord has called them back in our community. |
