3/18/20  Thank you for checking this website during this strange and disruptive time caused by the Corona Virus.  Ms. Howze and I are committed to staying in touch with all of our families throughout the closure.  As such, please refer to our established modes of communicating with parents and kids - Bloomz, email, and Google Classroom.  

 

Hello!  I am so happy to be in my 21st year here at Jackson Elementary and 29th year in the Everett School District.  Ms. Howze is my partner-in-crime out here in the 5th-grade portables, and we love planning meaningful experiences for all of our kids.  For now, let me tell you a little about myself.

 

I was born and raised in the Big Sky state of Montana.  After graduating from the University of Montana in Missoula (Go GRIZ!), I moved to Everett in 1988.  My two sons are the lights of my life.  Alex is a UW grad and working in Seattle while Mitch works for both Snohomish County and the City of Everett.  Both boys got their academic starts at Jackson!  In my free time, I enjoy working in my yard, reading, and engaging in all kinds of little crafts.  I guess my favorites are baking Monster Cookies and crocheting hats for the Jackson School Store.
