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!

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. The original six span from age 6-23. I enjoy playing cards and board games, traveling, and gathering with our church family.
