Mrs. Tumlinson received her B.A. at California Baptist College in Riverside, California. She taught eleven years at a Christian school in southern California where she was the department supervisor for first through third grades and later for first through sixth grades before moving to Carmichael. Prior to coming to Victory, she taught one year at another local Christian school. She has been at Victory since 1990. One of Mrs. Tumlinson's main objectives is to prepare the sixth graders for junior high. The methods she uses and the skills she teaches throughout the curriculum enable her students to make a smooth transition into the junior high program. Her main goal is to encourage her students to have a relationship with God by knowing Him and becoming more like Him as they survey the New Testament teachings throughout the year.
