Maria met her husband, Dan, at Camp Roger when they were both working there after college. Maria attended Calvin University for a bachelors in elementary education and a Masters in Educational Leadership. She has spent 16 years at local Christian schools in a number of positions including 5th grade teacher, middle school math teacher, and support services teacher. She loves coming alongside students both inside and outside of the classroom to encourage them to grow the gifts God has given them and empower them to take ownership of their own learning.
The Klompmaker family is excited to join the Bethel community. Their two sons, Everett and Alden, will be learners at Bethel in the fall. As a family, they enjoy traveling, camping, backpacking, and spending time outside.
