Natasha Kleffman - Grade 5/6
Natasha grew up in Barrie, attending TCS as a child. After attending Calvin College and student teaching in the Ukranian Village in Chicago, she felt God's calling to work and teach in an urban environment. She spent about seven years teaching grade 6 at Mustard Seed School in Hoboken, NJ. Here, she learned about the life changing impact teaching social/emotional curriculum and encouraging 12 year olds to find and tell the stories God's been writing for them from the start. After meeting her husband, Jeff, they decided to move back to the Toronto area. They now have two children. Olivia and Elliot have brought joy, wonder, challenge and a new understanding of surrender to Natasha's life and have piqued an interest in teaching young children. She is excited to share her experience and God's love with students at OCS and looks forward to all she will continue to learn from the OCS staff and students.
