Jeff Mildner has taught grades 7 – 12 for nine years in the Kansas City area. For the past six years he has served as the Director of Technology for the De Soto School District helping teachers integrate technology in the classroom. He has also coached wrestling, soccer and football. Jeff and his wife Jennifer, who is also a member of Team 4, volunteer in many capacities in Kansas City and at their church, St. Andrew Christian Church. St. Andrews has had a sister relationship with El Higueral, a mountain top village in El Salvador, since 1992. The families living there have had to rebuild their lives after the turmoil and devastation of civil war. Jeff has served as the sister-community liaison for St. Andrew and El Higueral for two years, and he has made two week-long trips to visit the community.
Last year Jeff rounded up some laptop computers for us to take to orphanage. This year, he will be the go-to person for the computer lab at St. Mary Kevin – teaching classes and helping the children feel more comfortable with technology. I’m sure he’ll also frequently be found playing soccer with the kids and teaching them a little about American football and wrestling. How lucky we are to have a teacher, an IT specialist and an athlete all wrapped up in one compassionate human being!
