Mrs. Gardner joined Faith Academy as the office manager in 2019 after more than twenty years of homeschooling, teaching, and participating in leadership at West Wichita Homeschool Ministry.

​

Mrs. Gardner sums up her background in three words: Wife, Mom, and Mimi. She has been married to her husband Scott since 1992. A mother to three children, three in-laws, and Mimi to two granddaughters (along with two fur babies and a spider).

​

She loves spending time with her husband, kids, and granddaughters, which includes a lot of science experiments, crafts, catching bugs, family walks, and exploring nature.

​

Her favorite scripture verses are:

1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV: And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. And Psalm 55:22, NIV: Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

​

Mrs. Gardner's goal is to effectively assist parents with their involvement at Faith Academy. She also enjoys the daily interaction with students, getting to know them, and being able to encourage them.
