New Teacher Highlight (and New Club!): Mrs. Jae Tarplee

by Jerahmeel King

This week in the Warrior Nation, we interviewed one of our new fouth grade teachers, Mrs. Jae Tarplee.  Mrs. Tarplee grew up in West Palm Florida.  She is a graduate of the University of Central Florida, and has been teaching since 2014. Mrs. Tarplee decided to teach here at Orlando Christian Prep after first hearing about it from her nephew, Tyler Towns, who is an OCP graduate and former Warrior football player.  She has four children, three of which three currently attend OCP.  Her oldest is a senior at Lake Nona High School.

MAD SCIENCE CLUB!
Almost as exciting as Mrs. Tarplee joining us is the club she is bringing with her.  She is starting a "Mad Science Club" that will begin here at OCP in October. Club members will learn science and have fun through hands-on experiments and more! The club is opened to all VPK through 9th graders. The cost is $50 for 1st-9th graders and $25 for VPK and Kindergarten. Monthly meetings will start in October, so check calendars for dates. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
