Kendra Carnine has loved drawing and painting since she was very young; it amazed her to see something beautiful take shape on her paper. After school and years of art instruction, she began holding small classes in her home. Finding that teaching art was as rewarding as making art, she has continued to teach private art lessons and art classes for homeschool cooperative groups for the past twenty-five years. Her favorite thing is to see students grow confident in their ability to create art. Originally from Oklahoma, Kendra moved to northern Illinois with her husband and three sons in 2019. They all love the cool weather of northern Illinois and Wisconsin, Lake Michigan, and rooting for the Brewers!

Becca Moore sees each child as God's precious creation and strives to lead each one closer to Christ. She recently moved from Des Moines, Iowa with her husband, where she was a lead preschool teacher at a private Christian school. Before that, she tutored children in reading and math--experiences that deepened her passion for helping young learners to grow. She found in these experiences that she loved building relationships with students and supporting their growth both spiritually and academically. Becca values each child as uniquely created and deeply loved by God, and she aims to reflect that love in her role as an instructional aide. Outside the classroom, she enjoys reading, listening to music, and spending time with her cats, Harvey and Dexter. Her favorite Bible verse is Philippians 3:20-21 (ESV): "But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself".

John Pendray teaches music at Kenosha Christian Academy.

At home, John and his wife Kim are raising five children. He enjoys listening to Beethoven, reading, and writing about the intersections of faith, music, and everyday life. More than anything, he hopes his students will come to see music not just as a skill to learn, but as a gift from God—something to be received with joy and offered back in worship to Christ.
