Hi! My name is Mrs. Jennifer Powell, and I am so excited to be part of our first grade team! More importantly, I am THRILLED to be your teacher! It’s going to be a fun year full of lots of learning and new adventures, and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us. I want to know ALL about you, but first I’m going to tell you a few things about me.
When I graduated from high school, I attended EKU and was a nursing student. That’s right; I was going to be a nurse. I got married and had children so college had to wait awhile. I returned to college, attended Union College in 2007, and graduated with my Elementary Education degree in 2009. I received my master’s degree in the Teacher Leader program in 2014. I am beginning my 10th year at Corbin Primary. I am so happy I chose this profession. It is so rewarding every day, and I love what I do!
I am married to a wonderful man, Wally. We have three beautiful children, two daughters, Lauren and Kelsey, and a son, Justin. They are grown and live in other towns with their own families. I have two beautiful little granddaughters, Ellie and Reese, and a handsome little grandson, Eli. I do not get to see my babies very often and sure do miss their hugs, so I will be needing lots of hugs from you!
I am so excited to be your teacher and for you to be a part of this awesome class. It is going to be an amazing year!
