​Hello!  My name is Amber Dupree .  I am a first grade teacher at FBCA.  I have been married to my husband, Shane Dupree, for nineteen years and we have five children.   I graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas in 2000.  At that time, my husband and I moved to Lake Charles.  The Lord blessed us with our first child in 2002.   I felt led to become a stay-at-home mother and I continued to stay at home to care for all five of our children.  Although I did not work full -time, I was very involved with my children and their schools and activities, as well as with church.  My youngest child entered kindergarten in 2016 at which time I began subbing at his school and at other local elementary schools.  I subbed for two years and throughout that time I prayed for God's guidance on the path that I should take.  I have always loved helping others learn and I knew God was calling me to teach.  I just wasn't sure where God wanted me to do so.   I believe God answered my prayers when FBCA called me.  This is my second year to teach full-time and I am thrilled to be part of the team at FBCA.  I am looking forward to an exciting year!
