NEW FACULTY AND STAFF: KAURI RUCKER & CHANDRA ENDEL

Two new educational aides are joining Worthington Christian’s dynamic Intervention Services team this year: Kauri Rucker (pictured on left) and Chandra Endel (pictured on right).

Rucker will provide academic support and assistance to students in grades seven through nine. Before stepping into this role, she served as a family pastor at Pataskala Church of the Nazarene for seven years. She shares, “The Lord is calling me to a new focus of ministry. After a long time of prayer and seeking wisdom, I am confident that His plan was for me to land in my role here at WC! I am so excited to be here and to help support and encourage students academically, as well as care for their spiritual growth.”

Endel will provide academic support and assistance to students at the Lower School campus. She brings with her three years of experience as an educational aide in Bexley schools, where she worked with the Intervention Services team to help students succeed in their daily academic goals, teach social and emotional skills, and implemented strategies for executive functioning. She has two children who are current students at WC. Of her new role she shares, “I am excited to continue fostering kids in their development and their love for learning, helping them grow their confidence academically and as friends… all while watching God grow their faith daily!”
