This week’s Staff Feature is Miss Ariesa Bryant, one of our Preschool Teacher’s Aides who is beginning her first year at St. Luke’s. A Tampa Bay native, she earned her bachelor’s degree in communications and digital media from UCF. She has already found her time at St. Luke’s meaningful, especially seeing young children develop both a love for learning and a heart for God.Outside of St. Luke’s, Miss Bryant enjoys reading, cooking, baking, playing board games with friends, and relaxing at home. She also loves exploring different cities with friends. One fun fact families may not know is that she can play the violin. Miss Bryant also has a heart for serving others and has participated in several mission trips, including five to Colombia.
Miss Bryant’s favorite Bible verse is Romans 12:2, which begins, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The verse reflects the importance of keeping faith at the center of life, something she appreciates about St. Luke’s. For Miss Bryant, being part of a Christian education environment has been encouraging because students are able to grow academically while also growing in their knowledge and love of the Lord. She believes having Christ at the center of education makes all the difference. St. Luke’s is grateful to have Miss Bryant as part of our school family and looks forward to seeing the impact she will make in the lives of our youngest students.
