Hi everyone! My name is Bethanie Reymer and I am thrilled to be returning to teaching second grade at Arrows this coming school year. Teaching is a passion and joy of mine. From a little girl eagerly asking my own teachers for leftover papers and school supplies so I could play school at home, I always knew I wanted to teach. I graduated from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA with a bachelor’s degree in English and elementary education. My training and work experience includes everything from kindergarten to sixth grade. After having my own daughter in my kindergarten class, I felt God leading me in the direction of homeschooling. I was blessed to graduate my daughter this past spring and am entering my 11th year homeschooling with my son. This is my fourth year teaching at Arrows Academy and partnering with some wonderful parents in the continued education of their children. I have really enjoyed sharing in God's blessing on this wonderful program at Arrows and getting to know so many of you. I look forward to a new school year with you all! 

Hi friends! I'm Julie DeLack, this is my third year teaching with Arrows. First grade is such a fun grade and I am so excited to be partnering with you all this year! It truly is a joy and a blessing! I am a wife to Jeremy for 13 years together we have three great kiddos who attend Arrows, Amelia (8th grade), Logan (6th grade), and Caleb (1st grade). This will be our fourth year of homeschooling and are so blessed to be a part of the Arrows community! We live up in the mountains of Prospect and enjoy all the rural life has to offer. We spend much of our free time as a family hiking, fishing, and exploring God's amazing creation. I have had the privilege to serve in many different capacities in children’s ministries. Over the years I have taught Pre-K and Kindergarten Sunday School classes as well as helped with an afterschool program for the local kids to learn the good news of Jesus. I helped organize and start a children’s ministry for a small congregation in the area as well as helped kick start their VBS program. I am very much looking forward to walking alongside and encouraging our first-grade families this year through all that the Lord has for us!

Hello! My name is Tory Gettman. I am so honored to be a part of the Arrows Academy team. I grew up in Idaho and moved to Oregon 8 years ago. I graduated college in 2015 from Lewis-Clark State College with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. I did my internship at a Head Start program and fell in love with working in a school environment with young children. I got married to my husband, Phil, in 2015 after graduation and the Lord has blessed us with two sweet boys together. This will be my third year homeschooling my oldest and my youngest is starting with us this year. I have been blessed to be a stay-at-home mom over the last 7 years. During that time, I did some substitute teaching at Grace Christian school and last year I was a substitute at Arrows, as well. I love being outdoors and doing just about anything from camping with my boys, hunting, fishing, and hiking. We spend most of our days outside and try to do as much homeschool in the outdoors as possible. I look forward to all the adventures to come at Arrows and hope to have your child in my class.

Hi I’m Angie Kucera ! I am looking forward to my 5th year teaching with Arrows this fall! I’ve been married to my husband Dan for 24 years. We have identical twin daughters that are 22...hard to believe!! We attend Table Rock Fellowship where we have the joy of leading one of the worship teams. In addition to Arrows I have also been involved in years past with teaching music specialties at Grace Christian school where I’ve been able to lead over 250 kids for their Christmas and spring musical presentations. I have also taught science and social studies in past co-op homeschool groups . We homeschooled our girls from the 2nd to the 6th grade until they attended Grace Cascade schools and graduated from there 4 years ago. I am looking forward to this year and another fabulous group of kindergartners that I get to come alongside and watch them grow with you!

Hi! I am Angela Lounsbury and I am so excited to be returning to the Arrows Community again as the PreK teacher. Education and homeschooling have always been in my blood. I come from a long legacy of many wonderful teachers in my family and I myself was homeschooled from Pre-K through high school here in the Rogue Valley. I have been writing my own lesson plans since the 4^th grade! After getting my elementary teaching degree from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, I spent two years traveling the US as a head teacher for the African Children’s Choir. I have loved my many classroom teaching and ministry experiences in New Zealand, Uganda, Illinois, Tennessee, and Oregon. I am now settled back in the Rogue Valley, where I enjoy life with my husband of 7 years, my son, Oliver (5), and bonus daughters, Emily (17), and Sarah (22). I am passionate about Jesus and living a healthy and purpose filled life. During my free time, I love to travel, be outdoors, read, cook, make lists, and learn new things. My family attends Living Waters Church where I am involved in teaching Kingdom Kids (Sunday School). I am thrilled to partner with parents and kids to foster a love for learning and a love for Jesus. I can’t wait to meet each precious and unique Preschooler in August! 

Hi! My name is Amie Carlson. I had the privilege of working at Arrows Academy for two years as the Pre K Aide and Aftercare teacher. I am passionate about helping guide young children toward The One true teacher and loving them as we explore the wonders of this world together. I am originally a southern California girl who has lived in Bend Oregon, Kansas City, Missouri and most recently Central Point, Oregon with my husband, Janin, (20 years married) and our 3 amazing children.  Whether flying or camping in our travel trailer, our family enjoys exploring new places together. We have been attending Journey Church for over 8 years and have been involved with the children's ministry over the years. I was a stay-at-home mom for over 10 years and when I returned to work, I was an Educational Assistant at Mae Richardson Elementary for 6 years.

 I feel I have found something very special in working at Arrows and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with an amazing staff and the wonderful Arrows families. I am excited about the new school year and for what Jesus has done and will continue doing through Arrows.

Hello Everyone! I am super excited to be joining Arrows this year teaching PE! I was born and raised here in the Rogue Valley, and then headed to Newberg to attend George Fox University. I started off with a double major in Foods and Nutrition in Business and Fitness Management before changing over to Elementary Education. I love teaching and I love fitness and nutrition! After graduating with a BS in Elementary Education and as a four-year Cross-Country and Track athlete, I went on to teach English at a University in China for a year and a half. Once I returned to the US, I began substitute teaching K-12 any subject, got married to a wonderful man, and earned my Masters of Education at SOU. I have continued to substitute teach for the past 16 years, with one year of full time teaching mixed in, and was fortunate to be able to work with a homeschool co-op in 2020 and substitute a little at Arrows last year. In 2018 we were blessed with my wonderful daughter, and she will start Pre-K at Arrows this year. We were blessed to have our precious son join us in June of 2023 as well. Outside of teaching, I love running, hiking, traveling, camping, cooking, and being with family and friends. My husband and I have run half marathons in all 50 states (and 5 countries), and I have been to 15 countries. I am also involved in the Christian Education committee and the ladies missions group at Medford Friends Church, where I have attended since I was a baby. I love being active, and it is my hope to be able to share some of my enthusiasm for fitness with the wonderful students at Arrows!

I’m thrilled to be leading music classes again this year. My husband and I live in Central Point with our four children and attend Edgewater Christian Fellowship. This is our third year at Academy and fourth homeschooling. Along with spending time with my kids, I love cooking, good coffee, and CrossFit! As a classically trained pianist, I spent 9 years teaching piano professionally and have been involved in local music productions, orchestras, VBS, and worship teams. Introducing kids to music is a special love of mine and I’m excited for the opportunity to do this at Arrows.

Greetings!  I am Hannah Searcy and I am eager to be an aide again this year at Arrows Academy!  I grew up here in the valley and graduated from Cascade Christian.  My husband and I have been married for 13 years and I’ve been homeschooling our 3 girls for the past 6 years.  This will be our second year at Arrows, previously we were a part of Classical Conversations.  I have been involved with the children’s Sunday School at my church, Trinity Presbyterian, for the past 13 years.  I enjoy being busy and working with children! 

Hey there! My name is Katie Carie and this will be my second year as a program substitute for Arrows Christan Academy. I grew up in Southern California where I enjoyed competitive dance, sports and being involved in our local church. In college, I took an ASL class and became heavily involved in the Deaf community. I earned my AA in American Sign Language Interpreting and BA in Deaf Studies with an emphasis in teaching ASL. In 2009, I moved up to Seattle, WA where I earned a career diploma in Childhood Education and worked in deaf/hard of hearing non-profit services and in various childcare settings. In 2012, I married my husband Zach and in 2014 we had our first child, Mikayla (8). In 2016, we moved to Medford, OR for my husband’s job and a couple years later we had our son, Oliver (5).  This will be our fourth year homeschooling. We currently attend Heritage Christian Fellowship where my husband and I teach Sunday School in the kindergarten/first grade class. We’ve loved living in Southern Oregon and have been so grateful to find such a wonderful homeschool community at Arrows. I can’t wait for Jesus to work in the lives of all of our children and we guide them to know Him better!

Hi everyone! My name is Keri Foster, and I am so excited to be joining Arrows as a program substitute this year! My husband, Jason, and I have been married for 11 years and we have three children, (Sophie-13, Savannah-9, & Isaiah-6) all of whom attend Arrows and love it so much. It is hard to believe we are heading into our 6th year of homeschooling! What a joy and privilege it has been! I have always had a passion for learning and elementary education, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to come alongside the wonderful educators at Arrows in growing childrens' hearts towards Jesus. Jason and I have been active in youth ministry, ranging from babies to teens, at Journey Church since moving to Medford from Grants Pass in 2013, and currently teach Sunday School for 5-8 yr olds (or wherever needed)! We love having the opportunity and honor to help children find and be formed by Jesus and find their identity in Him. Along with serving at church, we love to travel, fish, boat, raise chickens, and enjoy good food together. I am a southern Oregon native, born and raised. I am also an avid reader and collector of books, always on the hunt for my next great read! I look forward to getting to know you and your children this year and to serve in whatever ways are needed. "May the Lord bless you and keep you, turn His face toward you, and give you peace."

My name is Becky Sanislo. I am happy to support Arrows CHC as the bookkeper and helping with other office administration and occasionally helping in classrooms and at recesses. I have had many years of experience in bookkeeping and other administrative duties during the 26 years of helping my husband run his own business in Southern California. We moved to Southern Oregon almost 6 years ago to live near our daughter and her family and have a slower pace of life. I am married with 2 daughters and 6 grandkids. We enjoy camping, boating, bike riding and hiking. 

Hi! I am Hilary Cooper. I was born in a small mountain community in Siskiyou County, CA. My family moved to the Griffin Creek area of the Rogue Valley when I was seven and I was blessed to be raised on a beautiful farm; riding horses, climbing cherry trees, feeding cows, and reading in the tall grass of the hay fields. I met my husband, Chris, in 2002 and we have been happily married since 2004! We have a small rural property outside Central Point where we enjoy our chickens, our four dogs, and the incredible views of the valley. Our family attends a local church and our two children are very active in the youth group there. I have accumulated quite the variety of work experience in my adult life! From bookkeeping, to managing an auto parts delivery service, to assisting a homebirth midwife, and most recently, several years working in the local public school district. I am honored to be included in the education and spiritual growth of the children of Arrows Christian Academy. 

Hello Arrows Community! My name is Ali Williams and I am so honored and thrilled to be back with this incredible community of students and educators. I taught 1^st/2^nd grade during Arrows Academy opening year before going on maternity leave in 2020.  I grew up in West Linn, Oregon where I met Jeff, my husband of 21 years. I graduated from Linfield College with my BA in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Spanish. That same year I taught a 2^nd/3^rd grade blend in my hometown. I married my high school sweetheart in 2002 and we moved to southern Oregon that same summer. I went on to get my Master’s Degree in Teaching from Southern Oregon University with an endorsement in teaching English to second language learners in 2004. My teaching resume over the last 23 years is eclectic ranging from preschool to 6^thgrade, including art, ESL, dual language kindergarten, substitute teacher, mentor teacher, homeschool co-op teacher and homeschool parent. Teaching, and children in general, are my passion and my life’s work. Jeff and I have five children together, ranging from toddlers to teens. We have a hobby farm in southwest Medford, where we have a slew of animals and children always roaming the property. We love to travel, boat, hike, eat and prepare good food and share our home and hearts with others. We have attended New Life for the past 15 years where I have actively served in children’s ministry ranging from nursery to teens.  This year I am joining Arrows Academy as an Instructional Coach. I work with teachers to find solutions, improve performance and innovate instruction. I understand the challenges facing teachers, parents and students today. It’s my desire to be a resource and support for students, classroom teachers and you, the homeschool teacher while you tackle this most challenging and rewarding endeavor.
