Mrs. Beattie loves being a part of the SJNCS family.  She became a teacher because she finds working with children to be incredibly rewarding and believes they are daily reminders of God's grace. Each child has unique characteristics that are fun to learn about. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time outdoors and enjoying nature. She loves to camp, fish, and hike with her husband and two children.  She loves all animals; especially dogs!  She also enjoys reading historical fiction books.  The best advice she was given was to remember that God is everywhere and in everything. Mrs. Beattie wants her students to understand that God is always there for them and always loves them.
