"We have loved this class. As a parent, I was nervous about teaching this subject at home so it has been refreshing to see that both of our boys enjoy taking this class. Our boys have said that the favorite thing about Paleontology & Geology so far is that they 'get to learn about different dinosaurs' and 'I get to learn things I never knew about before. Mrs. Barbour makes things clear for me to understand.'" - A. Moore
"I have loved Mrs. Barbour's class for my kids! They have learned SO much! I was doing their dinosaur project with them and could not believe how much they retained and how much info they could relay! They have fun and learn and that makes my homeschool mama heart so happy! Thank you for investing in them and making learning fun!" -K. Campbell

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Kacy Barbour
Associate of Science–General Education
Kacy grew up in East Tennessee, where she casually attended Northeast State Community College. She enjoyed the classes and teachers so much that she just kept going back until they told her she unintentionally had enough credits for a General Studies degree in 2021. Kacy and Wes met in September 2011 and got married 9 months later in June 2012. Their journey has taken them to North Carolina and several areas in Virginia, but they know the Lord called them to plant roots here in Chesterfield. Kacy and Wes have four children: Noah, Braylan, Coralynn, and Koda. They are a family of mixed schooling, with a couple of children at Bridge and a couple of children in public schools. They have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Bridge, watching their children grow and thrive in this environment, and are looking forward to getting to know the Bridge community better while serving here. Kacy serves on the Women’s Ministry Team at Parkway Baptist Church. She enjoys planning service projects and fellowship events alongside her Sisters in Christ.
