Sharon Wenger: Director/Lead Teacher

Mrs. Wenger was an urban kids' ministry director before her involvement with preschool, and also teaches private piano lessons. She has degrees in both Educational Ministries & Bible, as well as a minor in music. Her journey with preschool education began when she became a mom. Mrs. Wenger loves drinking coffee, journaling, and walking their dog. She lives with her husband and two teenage boys in Myerstown. They attend Calvary Bible Fellowship Church in Sinking Spring, and have been known to frequent a local whoopie pie stand more often than they should.

Linda Doutrich: Wee 3's Class Assistant

Mrs. Doutrich has been part of the team since its start in 2017.  She's taught toddler Sunday School for decades and has a knack for calming anxious students in the classroom. We say that she has the patience of "the man in the yellow hat" from Curious George... and three year-olds seem to be her specialty! She lives in Lebanon with her husband on the family farm and they attend GracePoint Evangelical Free Church in Palmyra.  Mrs. Doutrich enjoys jigsaw  puzzles, sewing, visits from family, and anything with coconut in it.

My PALS Preschool is governed by a board of volunteers from Christ Community Church.

She enjoys reading, playing the piano, and the occasional peanut butter cup. Her favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 41:10... fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
