Richmond Heights Christian School

My name is Diane Rogazione and I have taught at RHCS for 22 of its

23 years. Before coming to RHCS I lived in Guatemala and Ecuador

for a year as a missionary with Christians in Action. I also taught at

Vista Christian School for 7 years.

I have a Bachelor of Science in K-12 Art Education from Evangel

College in Springfield, Missouri, an Elementary Education K-6 degree

form Cleveland State and a Masters equivalent in Elementary

Education.

I am a portrait artist and recently illustrated the book William’s

Terrible, Horrible, Trip Down the Hall, written by Kathleen Swaney. It

will be available on Amazon.com in 2010. I am honored to teach the

first graders at RHCS, where the Bible is our main textbook and

shapes our Christian worldview. My goal is to instill a love for God,

learning and others in our first graders.

1st grade is full of fun as well as work. We use a phonetic approach

to reading and a conceptual math curriculum. Some of our highlights

are Johnny Appleseed Day, Patterson’s fruit farm and funfest, the

History Museum and Planetarium, the 100th day of school parade,

the Indian Museum of Lake County, Century Village and the Fairport

Harbor lighthouse and museum. This year we are the peaceful

puppies. We are Good.

Students may select any book within their reading level for

Accelerated Reader. The book must have a test connected with it.

You can check for that at www.arbookfind.com. Books without a test

can not be counted. A specific topic, such as animals, may be

required at times.
