Linda Grimm, a new teacher in first grade this year, has a B.S. in child psychology and development from Palm Beach Atlantic College and an ACSI certification in Florida. She has completed 28 hours towards her MSW/MRE at Southwestern Theological Seminary.

Linda taught kindergarten in Florida for five years and has been an assistant teacher at USJ for three years.

"I want my classroom to be a safe place for children to come to learn lots, grow miles, and leave with a sense of accomplishment and pride," she says.

She and her husband, Rich, have two children at USJ: Nathan, 11th grade, and Rachel, 8th grade. Their oldest son, Daniel, is a 2008 USJ graduate.
