Introduction:

Hello! I am Kristen Dubrick. I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Family Consumer Science (FCS) here at Churchville.  I also sponsor the Give to Others club and run Henry's Hut, which is a snack shack after school. 

Background Information:

I have been teaching FCS at Churchville since August of 2014. My bachelor's degree is in Family and Child Studies, which allows me to teach, Culinary Arts, Nutrition, Sewing, Interior Design, and Child Development. I received my Bachelor's degree from Northern Illinois University in 2012. I also have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Olivet Nazarene University. I really enjoy expanding my education by taking multiple classes a year to stay current on the ever changing field of education.
