Kristina (Johnson) Palmer has returned home to serve as the new music teacher at Lincoln and McKinley elementaries.
She grew up in Iola’s First Baptist Church, earned a degree from Southwest Baptist University, Bolivar, Mo., and says her faith in God led her and husband Jonathan to Iola earlier this year.
After graduating from SBU, Palmer took a position teaching elementary music in Warsaw, Mo., had a boyfriend and figured she’d stay put.
