Welcome to a returning teacher and a new teacher!

Welcome back to Mrs. Lindsey Johnston!

Hello! I am returning to All Saints Academy as the Toddler 2 Lead teacher. I'm excited to be back! I've found myself "back at home" in the classroom and know I'm blessed to work with the other teachers and staff here. I am, of course, loving the learning and laughter happening in Room 304 as we navigate the new school year. The last few weeks have been wonderfully fun and busy. I'm certain the rest of the year will follow suit.

I grew up in Grand Rapids and went to school at our lower campus when it was Blessed Sacrament School. I then went to Catholic Central and on to Ferris State University for education in criminal justice and early childhood development. My husband and I both love to be outside, spend time with our family, listen to old country music, and watch The Office (yes, still) when time allows. Our three oldest children attend ASA (Aila in 3rd grade, Sam in 2nd, Keira in Preschool 3). Our youngest, Anna, goes to Grandma's during the day. We have two big dogs named Jesse and Breslin, and we have a cat named Scuttle. God gifted me with love for cleaning and cooking, so that worked out well. :) When I find some time to slow down, I spend it reading historical fiction (Kristin Hannah!), watching Top Gun Maverick again, making lemonade or cake pops with the kids, or trying to make myself into an avid runner. 

The All Saints community has been an integral part of our family's life. I'm so glad to be back in the halls here where I can play a small role in helping our kids grow academically, in faith, and in confidence.

Welcome to Mrs. Linda Kanoza.  

Mrs. Kanoza is working in our Saints and Eagles Clubs after school.

Originally, I intended to become a teacher (lower grades), completing the child care program at GRCC. (It took 9 years to complete while I was working full-time). When our kids were younger, I operated an in-home child care business.

While working, an opportunity to enter the construction administration arena arose, and because it was so lucrative, I decided to take it. I spent over 40 years in the industry, working with architects, engineers, scientists, and professionals in mechanical, electrical, structural, and construction-related fields.  I worked my way up from the front desk to a position in Project Management. When I interviewed for, but didn't land, the new aquarium job, I decided to return to my original passion.

My personal time is spent growing my business, sailing on Lake Michigan, and enjoying quality time with my family. Our family consists of Kevin (husband) Kyle, Kelsie and our mini-golden doodle Cuppy.
