Jeannie Kirkhope is a certified teacher in
West Virginia with a Master’s degree in
Theology. Her 13 years combined experiences in the
classroom, as a camp director and working with the
homeless have left her with a rich multitude of tricks in
her bag. She is eager to share them with you on or
off the farm for suggested donation amounts.
The Bag Lady’s variety of programs help people
see themselves and the world through a different lens.
They are fun, interactive and developmentally
appropriate, tried-and-true for student groups as well as
adults. Jeannie currently lives
with her 2 dogs, a one-eyed cat and a bunch of chickens on a farm outside Spencer. |
