Mrs. Lindsey DeJonge
2nd Grade Teaching Assistant
Hi! I am Lindsey DeJonge, and I love to have fun, learn, and spend most days outside! I especially love seeing children grow to be Jesus followers as they learn, love, and lead. I see Jesus on the move in the classrooms and hallways through the students and the teachers. MCS is truly a special community!
I have lived in the tri-cities area all my life, and I love West Michigan – particularly the summer and fall weather! I went to Grand Haven Christian School (K-8) and continued to go to Western Michigan Christian High School. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Therapeutic Recreation. That degree has enabled me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults with mental illness, trauma, and loss and grief in a professional setting.
After having children, staying at home to raise and nurture my 3 children became my calling. As they grew, I began to re-enter the workforce through youth ministries at our church. When the opportunity came to work at MCS, I knew in my heart I was ready to pour into these students and continue to contribute to the legacy of MCS.
Favorite Verse:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
