Lord Jesus Christ, the children's friend. To each of them Your presence send; Call them by name and keep them true In loving faith, dear Lord, to You. That caring parents, gracious Lord, And faithful teachers find reward In leading these, to whom You call, To find in Christ their all in all. ~LSB 866, st. 1 & 3 |

Mrs. Brenda Shane - 7th & 8th Grades
I grew up on a farm near Alexandria, MN.
I graduated from Concordia University in St. Paul in 1999. After having taught in Lutheran schools in Indiana, the Twin Cities, and South Dakota, my husband Scott and our two youngest children settled northeast of Truman in May 2014 on the farm site where his grandparents toiled since the 1920s. I have quickly grown to love this community, and the students and faculty here at SPL. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to share Jesus, especially to our junior high students who find themselves at an age when society really starts to test their values and faith. bshane@splfairmont.org |
Mrs. Carla Fast - 3rd & 4th Grades
It's wonderful to be a part of the family at SPL.
As teachers, we are blessed to assist parents in their vocations of educating their children. Our days begin, end, and center on Christ as we help the children entrusted to us learn about the world around them, their place in it, and the Lord and Savior who created all and redeems them. We grow in knowledge, faith, and service as we serve our Lord by serving each other. In Christ, Mrs. Carla Fast cfast@splfairmont.org |
Mrs. Joan Abel - 5th Grade
I was raised on a dairy farm near Athens, Wisconsin so that makes me a Cheesehead (and proud of it!). In 1981 I graduated from Concordia College in St. Paul, MN and came to teach at St. Paul Lutheran Church and School. Doug and I have two sons, Thaddeus (Tadd) and Matthew (Matt). God has blessed me with many wonderful students and parents, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my teaching career. I pray that He will continue to use me to share His Word with young people!

Mr. Paul Engelby - 6th Grade
I have greatly enjoyed teaching 4th grade for 20 years at the school I attended. Things have changed through the years, but God's love continues to shine at SPL. My wife, Chris, is a health and physical education teacher at Fairmont High School. We have twin daughters, Emily and Ashley, who also attend SPL. I enjoy all sports, hunting, fishing, and boating with my family.

Ms. Christina Warnier - 1st Grade
I grew up in Browns Valley, MN, where my dad is a pastor. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Elementary/Early Childhood from Concordia University, Nebraska. I taught at Trinity St. Paul in Hamel, IL for four years in a combined 1st and 2nd grade classroom setting before coming to St. Paul Lutheran School in Fairmont. Some of my interests are golf, reading, sewing, scrapbooking, and nail art.

1 Peter 4:10 - As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies -- in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. splsecretary@splfairmont.org Kristylin Bishop -

The Young Investors Club
volunteer is Mrs. Elaine Lieder. It is held every Thursday during library time. I grew up in a family which practiced fiscal responsibility and Biblical stewardship. For three generations our family has taught and practiced the 10-10-80 principal. Ten percent of our income goes back to the Lord as a tithe, ten percent goes to savings for future needs and major expenses, and the remaining eighty percent takes care of our day-to-day needs. I see the Young Investors Club as a wonderful opportunity for students to practice both stewardship and responsible savings habits, since LCEF uses the funds on loan for ministry purposes. |
