Mrs. Brombal comes from a banking background and became a stay at home mom when her fourth child was born.  All her children went to Christian schools and now her daughter is teaching at a Christian school.  As well as being a co-founder and an active board member, Mrs. Brombal will also be helping with administration of the school,  serving as head of enrollment and co-ordinating fundraising efforts.   ​ "I believe in Christian Education and that is why my husband and I chose Christian Education for our five children. There isn’t a better gift you can give your children than a safe environment where they can learn and be accepted and loved for who they are. I feel each day is a gift when I walk the halls and I hear laughter, giggles and excitement of student’s enjoying their days here at Resurrection!" ​ “I couldn’t imagine doing anything else at this time in my life. I know that God has put me here for a reason and my job is to be obedient to Him.  I do my best to live by Philippians 3:12:14, and having the chance to influence so many young lives has become such a blessing in my life. THANK YOU!" Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do; forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ.   Philippians 3:12-14
