Mrs. Becky Mckinney & Ms. Shauna Voelker

Hi, my name is Becky McKinney and I am the preschool teacher at Central Lutheran School. I have been teaching here for 16 years and I love to spend time and share the love of Jesus with the little ones! I am married to Bret who is an analyst at CRST. We have two children. Josh who lives/works in Florida and Jennifer who is a senior at the University of Iowa. We enjoy boating, fishing, going to Hawkeye wrestling meets, and being with family. My favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 

• Mrs. Becky, as she is known by her students, was nominated and awarded the LEA (Lutheran Education Association) Distinguished Lutheran Early Childhood Teacher of the year award for 2021. 

Hi, my name is Shauna Voelker. This is my first year of service at Central Lutheran School. I have three daughters: Lilly, Maggie, and Mattie, they all attend CLS. My hobbies include: Reading, doing puzzles, playing board games, watching Marvel movies, spending time with my girls - especially taking them to various sports and activities! My favorite Bible verse is Matthew 28:20, this verse has always been special to me and I was grateful to be able to have it as my Confirmation verse. I have been a member of St John Lutheran Church in Newhall my whole life. I also attended CLS from preschool to 8th grade, and am so excited that I am able to work there now! I am also one of the Sunday School teachers here at St John. During church you can usually find my girls and I sitting in the balcony with Grandpa (my dad, Tim Rathje), he is my earthly rock and helped lead me on my Christian journey!
