About The Teacher

My name is Donna Hemphill.  I have a Bachelors degree in Family and Consumer 
Sciences with a focus on Child Development and a minor in Early Childhood 
Education from Northeastern State University. I received my Masters in
Education from Oklahoma Wesleyan University, May 2011. I taught Head
Start for four years and interpreted for deaf students in public school my 
entire working career before that.  I am so glad to be at St. John, this is my
fourth year.  I am married and have two sons, Joshua and Jacob. I enjoy riding
bikes, camping, reading, learning, and listening to Christian music.  I like 
plants, candles, chocolate and warm evenings in front of the wood stove 
during the winter. I collect Coca-Cola souveniers, roosters and sunflowers. 
My favorite color is red.  


Mission For The Class

My mission is to put a love for God and learning inside each child.  I want 
each student to love school and want to attend everyday.  I want to hear 
children speak to each other respectfully and treat each other kindly.  I 
want them to care about each other's feelings and help each other as needed.  
I want them to remember how I made them feel instead of what I made them do 
everyday. My mission is for each child to understand God made them special 
and that each person has special talents and gifts like no other.
