Darline Thomas

New Beginnings (Toddler-2nd Grade)

I am a lady of many names-wife, mom, Grammie, teacher and Miss Darlene, but my most important name is Christian. My family and church have always been very important to me. Teaching both in the church and the education system as a Special Education teacher have provided much enjoyment and fulfillment through the years. As I have gone through life I have tried to bring moments of joy to those around me to spread the love that Christ showed for us and wants us to share with others. 

Stephanie Evans

Married to Gary, mother of two, grandmother of nine, and great grand mother of one. If you can't tell, I love my kids and love leading kids closer to Christ at NVCC!
