Mrs. Veselsky’s Corner
Deuteronomy 6:5-9 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
This scripture was shared with me quite a few years ago by a wonderful administrator who had many years in Christian education. The emphasis he was sharing was that we need to be 'pouring' God and His word into our children every day, all day. I am finding this scripture to really be greatly playing out in our home as our last child is preparing for his senior year at TPCS. We have just one year left with him in our home to continue to build this strong foundation, with God's help, as he prepares for what life will bring him very soon.
It is because of this mentoring at TPCS and the offerings given to my children that we chose a Christian education for our children, and my hope as to why you have chosen TPCS for your child. You, as a parent, not only see the importance of a good solid educational foundation for your child, but also a spiritual foundation that will serve them for life, too.
I look forward in partnering with you and your family this year in building a strong foundation in your little one....
Serving God and His children,
Mrs. Tammy Veselsky

Throughout the year, we will be focusing on different themes and enrichment activities for each day of the week. These activities will include; stories, craft time, learning centers, special Bible story time, gym and/or outside play time. With each activity, we will coordinate it with the theme for the week to help them learn in fun and creative ways. We will also focus on things such as sharing, manners, fruits of the spirit, getting along with peers, and learning to be a good friend.
Introduction of New EC staff- EC Pre-kindergarten/PDO Instructional Assistant-
I am Bethany McKinsey and I am very excited to be joining the Early Childhood team at TPCA. I have been married to my husband, Matthew McKinsey, for a little over a year. We have one fur baby, a little black cat named Neko, which means ‘cat’ in Japanese. My favorite color is yellow because it reminds me of sunshine and happiness! I have worked at Traders Point for over a year where I have been a substitute for middle schoolers and other jobs throughout the school. Through these experiences, through grace and learning God showed me that I love teaching little ones and that is where He wants me! I started college at Cincinnati Christian University, transferred to IUPUI, and will be finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education at Indiana Wesleyan University, with a goal of being a lead teacher one day.
Family is very important to me! I have one brother who graduated from Traders Point and I have two younger siblings who are in 2nd and 8th grade and attend Traders Point currently. While in a classroom my students become my children. I love my students and want nothing more than to watch them grow in their education and in Christ. I am really looking forward to the coming school year. Personally, I have been praying for the year ahead and for my students that I will be blessed to work with!"
Introduction of Jon Wilhite, New Board Member
It is an honor to be serving on the board for Traders Point Christian Schools. This is an exciting time in the life of TPCS as our school continues to grow physically, scholastically and spiritually! Our family has lived in Brownsburg since 2004 other than a one-year stint in Orlando, Florida. My 14 year-old son, Jackson, will be entering 8th grade. He enjoys playing on the junior high football, basketball and baseball team. My daughter, Claire, is 13 years old and will be entering 7th grade. She plays on the junior high basketball team and enjoys the arts. My wife, Jackie is currently serving as the head coach for the varsity cheerleading squad here at TPCS. I am employed at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital where I serve as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Our family has been members of Traders Point Christian Church since 2005. We feel very blessed to be a part of the Traders Point community and look forward to seeing what God has in store for our family and yours!
