Get to Know Marshalltown Christi

Mrs. Cheryl Holmes- Administrator

Mrs. Shannon Judkins- Kindergarten teacher

Hello, I am Shannon Judkins. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Central College in Pella, Iowa, with an Elementary Education major and Early Childhood endorsement. I taught second grade for one year in Hampton, Iowa and kindergarten for six years in Grinnell, Iowa. After moving to Marshalltown, I took time out to stay at home with my children until my youngest son started school and then I taught at Sunshine Preschool for four years. The past two years I have witnessed great growth in the children: spiritually, academically, and socially! I am excited to see God's plan for the students this year!

My husband, Rob, is the senior Vice President at Farmers Savings Bank. We have three sons, Jordan, Blake, and Grant.

Both Rob and I grew up in Carlisle, Iowa and have resided in Marshalltown for 15 years. I am honored to be a member of the Marshalltown Christian School family! What a blessing from God!
