Mrs. Pederson loves to praise God with her children in song and share other silly songs with them. Psalm 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. She also LOVES to learn and prays that that same excitement is instilled in her students.
 
When not in the classroom, Mrs. Pederson enjoys hanging out with her husband and family, which just recently grew with the additions of three precious nieces. Mrs. Pederson enjoys spending the rest of her down time reading, catching up with friends, and finding all the bargains in the stores.
 
Her ministry is centered on the Bible verse, Matthew 28:19 & 20a, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
