PRE-K 3 & 4
My name is Sheryl Pugmire. I am very happy, and blessed to be able to say I will be your child's preschool teacher this year! I received my associates degree in Early Childhood Education in 2007. I have been working with children of all ages during my years here in Winfield. I had a daycare for seventeen of those years and worked with special education and the developmentally handicapped youth at the Winfield State Hospital for ten of those years.
I am married and have 3 sons. I love animals, and have many. I do love the Lord, children, people, and animals, and I love to teach! So I will blend this love and have fun teaching your child how to love the Lord and love learning what they need to in order to become healthy, blossoming children for our world.
I lovingly welcome you and your children to Trinity Lutheran School and Church. I am looking forward to a great school year full of little blessings!
KINDERGARTEN
Hi! I’m Katrina Tarver and I am the kindergarten teacher at Trinity. I’m so excited to start the new school year and see what adventures the months ahead hold. It is truly my honor and a blessing to be teaching these kids.
I have been teaching for many years, various ages and subjects, including at risk youth. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family (both extended and immediate). My husband, Charlie and daughter, Kayden and I enjoy keeping physically fit, coaching, cooking/baking and traveling.

Hello, I’m Erin Miller. I have been teaching 3rd and 4th grade here at Trinity for a number of years and I’m excited to start the new school year!
My love of kids runs deep and greatly affects my home life. I’ve been a Foster Parent for several years. I also enjoy reading, camping, swimming, going on mini family vacations, and also just relaxing in my spare time.
Here’s to a great year!
Principal
I am currently the Principal of Trinity Lutheran School in Winfield and also teach various other classes, mostly math. I have previously served as a teacher and principal at Lutheran schools in Illinois, Missouri, and Minnesota. I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska.
I am married to Rachel and have two children, Lydia and Toby that are both enrolled at Trinity. When not at school, I enjoy being active with his family. I especially like playing pickleball, hiking, and exploring new places.
Grades 5 & 6
My name is Heather Meyer and this is my fifth year teaching at Trinity and my sixteenth year overall (including four years homeschooling when our big kids were younger.) I have taught all ages, preschool through 8th grade, and am looking forward to seeing many of Trinity’s students in my classroom each day.
My husband, Seth, and I have seven children, including our daughter-in-law. I enjoy playing cards and board games, traveling, and gathering with our church family.
What a joy it is to share the love of Jesus with our kids each day!
Grades 7 & 8
My name is Sarah Warneke. I recently moved back to the Winfield area after my husband accepted a call to be pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Arkansas City. This will be my second year teaching at Trinity after being back at seminary last year. I look forward to being with the students again and teaching them about God's love for them.
