Meet the Faculty

Kim Kirk
Special Education Teacher
I have earned a Master's degree in Special Education and completed the Orton Gillingham training at Jemicy School. It is quite amazing to me to see the way God has brought all the pieces of the puzzle together here at Cornerstone. My husband Keith and I have 3 children Lorin, Luke, and Shannon, and spend lots of time driving to soccer, football, ballet, basketball, lacrosse, band, youth group, and confirmation classes! As a family, we enjoy camping and kayaking.

 

 

Martha Zeher
Special Education Teacher
I graduated from Millersville University with a degree in Special Education and have enjoyed teaching and/or tutoring for the past 20 years. As one of the founders of Cornerstone Academy of Glenwood (Mount Airy), I am passionate about using multi-sensory teaching with children who have learning differences. It has been a great joy and blessing to see many students become confident and successful learners in the nurturing, structured environment we provide.
