Harvest Time Christian Academy

To our principal, kindergarten teacher, boss, and best friend — Nicole 💛

Nicole is truly one of a kind. She wears more hats than anyone realizes, yet somehow still shows up every single day giving everything she has to our school, students, and staff.

She pours her whole heart into teaching and leading. She believes in her students before they believe in themselves and works tirelessly to make sure every child feels safe, loved, supported, and capable.

What people don’t always see are the early mornings, after-hours work, endless papers, last-minute schedule changes, quick lunches, difficult conversations, and the mental load she carries long after the school day ends. She somehow manages all of it running on coffee and prayers while still making everything look calm, organized, and magical. 😂

She celebrates the little wins that matter most — the first sentence read independently, the shy child raising their hand, the student finally believing, “I can do this.”

Nicole leads with kindness, strength, patience, and a work ethic that inspires everyone around her. Our school is better because of her, our students are better because of her, and we are all so lucky to work beside her, learn from her, and call her our friend.

The school truly would not be the same without her. 💛

Mrs. McGill is truly one of a kind. She walks through our doors each day as a burst of rainbows, joy, and unwavering positivity. While many people can put on a smile to get through the day, Mrs. McGill carries a genuine, deep-rooted joy that can only come from the Lord—and it shines through in everything she does.

Her classroom is more than a place of learning—it’s a place of warmth, laughter, and belonging. Mrs. McGill creates an environment where students feel safe, known, and deeply loved. There is a steady consistency in her presence that her students rely on; they know exactly what to expect because she shows up the same way every single day—with patience, kindness, and excellence.

But beyond the structure, she brings so much life into her classroom. Whether it’s meaningful “campfire conversations” that build connection or something as fun and silly as a fruit roll-up eating contest, she knows how to make learning memorable and joyful.

Her students adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She pours into them not just academically, but emotionally and spiritually, shaping hearts just as much as minds. Mrs. McGill sets a standard of excellence while still making every child feel capable and celebrated.

We truly believe Mrs. McGill is one of the very best first grade teachers in all of Cheyenne, and we do not take the gift of her presence lightly. She is a blessing to our school, our students, and our entire community.

Thank you, Mrs. McGill,, for the light you bring every single day. 💛

The school had to say goodbye to the ducks that the 3/4 grade hatched for science. What a better send off than a pool party!

10 years. Let that sink in.

For a decade, Ashley has been part of the heartbeat of this place—steady, faithful, and full of quiet impact. Ten years of showing up, stepping in, and doing whatever is needed… whether that’s shoveling snow before the day begins, scrubbing toilets without a second thought, or bravely taking the mic solo at a preschool Christmas concert.

That’s who Ashley is.

She doesn’t just teach—she builds. She builds strong students who know what’s expected of them and rise to meet it. She sets a standard of excellence and then walks right beside her students as they reach for it. There’s no coasting in Ashley’s classroom—only growth, effort, and pride in doing your best.

But what makes her truly special is how she balances that strength with kindness. Her classroom runs with intention and organization, yet always has room for grace. She is flexible when things don’t go as planned, steady when things feel chaotic, and consistently the calm in the middle of it all.

Ashley is the one you can count on. The one who sees what needs to be done and just… does it. No spotlight needed.

10 years of magic.
10 years of growth.
10 years of impact that can’t be measured.

And we are better because of every single one of them.

But behind all the fun is a teacher who cares deeply. Amber pours into her students—not just academically, but personally—making sure they feel seen, celebrated, and truly loved. She doesn’t just teach lessons… she creates memories.

Her classroom isn’t just a place to learn—it’s a place to laugh, grow, and belong.

We are so thankful for the energy, heart, and excitement Amber brings each and every day. School is simply brighter (and a lot more fun!) because of her 💛
