Faculty Spotlight- Carissa Blackburn
It’s Teacher Tuesday! Today, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing 3rd-grade teachers, Carissa Blackburn! Her joy for teaching, love for her students, and heart for building community make her such a special part of CAK.Carissa has been teaching 3rd grade at CAK for three years and says this age group is exactly where she’s meant to be.“Third grade is my happy place! The kids are at such a fun age, and we have a blast,” she shared.Carissa chose to teach at CAK because of her husband's strong connection to the school. Hearing stories about the lasting impact CAK had on his family showed her the heart behind this community and made her want to be part of it as both a teacher and someday for her own family.She especially loves the relationships she gets to build with her students and their families, and says the support from the CAK community has meant so much, especially this past year as she and her husband, Chase, welcomed their 6-month-old daughter, Hadley. Their chocolate lab, Maverick, is also loving life as a big brother!One of Carissa’s favorite parts of teaching is teaching Bible to the entire 3rd-grade class and being part of her students’ faith journeys.When she’s not in the classroom, you can probably find her reading, enjoying Mexican food, or spending time with her family.We are so thankful for the joy, warmth, and love Carissa brings to CAK each day! -
