Hello everyone! I'm Sarah Laughman. This is my third year on staff at Arrows and my first year as a teacher. I am so honored and excited to be joining you in your homeschool journey! I have been a part of Arrows Christian Academy since it first started and have absolutely loved being here. I grew up in Southern Oregon and have three children - Makenzie - 14,  Wyatt - 12, and Jane - 10.  I was homeschooled through to graduation and have served in children and youth ministry. I taught Sunday school classes ranging from 5-14 years old as well as homeschooled my own through various grades. I love traveling and have been to France, England, and Peru. I enjoy music, movies, reading, cooking and eating healthy food, karaoke, traveling, paddle boarding, hiking, camping and bicycling with the kids around our neighborhood. Homeschooling has always been a passion of mine and I love finding ways to keep it playful and productive. I care about aligning our children's whole hearts and minds while creating a place where they love learning and seek the truth and knowledge the Lord is wanting to share with them. 

Hi everyone! My name is Bethanie Reymer and I will be teaching second grade 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 am now going into my twelfth year of homeschooling her and tenth year with my son. This is my third 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 second 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 12 years together we have three great kiddos who attend Arrows, Amelia (7th grade), Logan (5th grade), and Caleb (1st grade). This will be our third 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!

Hi I’m Angie Kucera ! I am looking forward to my 4th year teaching with Arrows this fall! I’ve been married to my husband Dan for 23years. We have identical twin daughters that are 21...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 3 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 joining the Arrows Community this fall as a 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 6 years, my son, Oliver (4), and bonus daughters, Emily (16), and Sarah (21). I have always planned on teaching Oliver at home, and he is excited to be in my class this year. 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 last year as the Pre K Aide and am looking forward to my new position as the Aftercare Lead Teacher for Pre K and Kindergarten. 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, (19 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 7 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. 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 helping lead music classes this year. My husband and I live in Central Point with our four children and attend Edgewater Christian Fellowship. This is our second year at Academy and third 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.

My name is Sarah Venables and I’m excited to join the Arrows team. I’m a wife to Tom and we have been married for 7 years. I was born and raised in Klamath Falls and moved over to Medford when I was about 10. I have two daughters who attend Arrows and this will be their second year. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 7 years. I enjoy the beauty of nature that God has created for us. My husband and I enjoy fishing and camping with our girls. I have been coaching soccer for Junior Comets for a few years and been fortunate to be my girls coach. I enjoy being outside and being active. Looking forward to getting to know your children and meeting new families.  

Greetings!  I am Hannah Searcy and I am eager to be an aide 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 11 years and I’ve been homeschooling our 3 girls for the past 4 years.  This will be our first 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 12 years.  I enjoy being busy and working with children! 

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.

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 Journey Church, and our two children are very active in the youth group there. Ethan attends Crater High School, and Heidi is in our Middle School program here at Arrows. 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.
