Welcome, Rochelle Baitzel!

Rochelle Baitzel
Kindergarten Paraprofessional

Please tell us about yourself.
I was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Colorado until the age of 9, and then moved to Sparta, NJ. I graduated from Sparta High School and then went on to getting my BA in Communications with a Psychology Minor at Eastern University in St. David’s, PA. I enjoys singing, listening to all types of music, and leading worship at my church.

How did God bring you to work at EC?
I took a season off from work to raise my five children, once they were school aged, our hope was to always raise them in a Christian environment. Thankfully, God answered that prayer and opened the door to have my kids attend EC. Over the years, I saw how EC positively affected my kids, and I now feel so blessed to have the opportunity to partner with the EC staff to contribute to the mission that has greatly impacted and benefited my own children.

Why Eastern Christian School?
I personally see God working in the lives of EC students with my own children. They have grown in their knowledge of Scripture, they are privileged with the opportunity to be in a culturally diverse community that glimpses into what God’s kingdom really looks like, and they are being built upon the truth that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
