Hello all! I am Miss Jess. I am a native Obecian and live two houses down from the house I grew up in on Ebers Street. I, myself, attended St. Peter’s as a child and find St. Peter’s to be a home away from home.
I received my Bachelor of Art in International Child Welfare and a minor in African Studies. I was able to study abroad in Ghana, West Africa for a semester. There I worked in a remote village providing vaccinations to children aged 0-3 through a mobile clinic; as well as, served in a children’s home.
I have always loved working with children and find joy in their sense of wonder. A lot of my inspiration began with the Magic School Bus’s Ms. Frizzle. Her ability to bring learning to life through exciting, hands-on experiences sparked a love for learning through exploration and play. I have gained many ideas and resources from my mother-in-Law, Mrs. Tozer. She created the motto, “Safe, Kind, and Clean.”
I have adopted this motto as my simple class rules and created a song with sign language to teach my class to remember to play, “Safe, Kind, and Clean.” I look forward to growing with you all as we build a bridge between home and school to set your child up for success and develop a love for learning.
