Ms. Emily Kienstra
First Grade Teacher
My name is Emily Kienstra and I am the first grade teacher at SCCA. I graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. This is my eighth year in education and my third year in first grade here at SCCA. I started out my education career in the Fort Zumwalt School District teaching third grade before I moved to the Ladue School District and taught virtual kindergarten and was a teaching assistant. I am so grateful to teach here at SCCA amongst an amazing team and school community. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and baking and decorating cookies.
