Teacher Information
 

My name is Marcia Milam and I am the 4K teacher at Concordia University School. I have been blessed to be able to teach and be an early childhood administrator over the past 13 years. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and my Masters in Educational Administration, both from Concordia University Wisconsin   . What I love most about teaching at Concordia University School is that I get to know each of my students and help them reach their fullest potential and find their talents and love of learning. I am also blessed with the talent of music which I get to sing and play guitar and lead chapel - which, besides teaching, is by far the highlight of my week every week! Please feel free to stop by our class and see our class in action - I look forward to meeting you then. God's richest blessings to you in all you do!
