SotS 2026: Finding Joy in Math in Middle School

Welcome to Whitefield Academy's State of the School, our annual address in which leadership reflects on our current position and shares key updates on our strategic direction.
In this episode, we hear from the Middle School, where department chair and 5th-grade math teacher Dr. Lyndsey Klempay shares how math is just one way students learn that they don't have to fear doing difficult things. As students slow down and focus on understanding, they begin to see that math can make sense, that they can learn it, and that they can even find joy in it.
