Keith's goal will be to create an atmosphere of positive energy and to foster a lifelong love of fitness and activity. Teaching at a Catholic school is important to Mr. Bunkenburg because he enjoys the combinationor academic challenge, emotional growth, and faith filled community. Knowing students are growing intellectually, while being encouraged to embrace their faith and walk the way Jesus wants us to walk, is especially important to him.
