Mrs. Weaver LOVES her job of teaching music and the academically gifted at Kraybill School.  “My job is such a variety job, and variety adds such spice to life,” relates Mrs. Weaver.  “When I was a child, my mother was seriously ill from the time I was 8, and she died when I was 10. My involvement in music was such an important ingredient for my maintaining a sense of happiness. God blessed my life with ALL good music teachers in elementary, junior and senior high school.  I have attempted to model their high standards in helping children love and respond to ALL types of music, Music speaks to the very soul of mankind. Becoming musically literate by performing, creating, or active listening allows a person to emotionally, spiritually, intellectually – even physically -- enter a platitude of the soul otherwise unattainable. Teaching in a Christian school has allowed me to combine my love of music with my love for the Lord!”
