Jennifer Garrett

I love teaching for the “ah ha moments”. It’s that moment when a concept or a process finally clicks for a kid.

Tell us why you became a teacher

It’s all I really ever wanted to do! My grandmother knew I’d be a teacher when I was younger and I would come home from school and reenact my day at school, this time being the teacher!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When you work with a great team, you can do great things. I remember most working with 2 fabulous colleagues in third grade. We created educational opportunities for the kids that were fun and inspiring.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I can’t imagine that I wouldn’t spend some of the money on books. I love reading and encouraging kids to read. I also am a steward of a Little Free Library. I also am an American National Parks fan, so I would also fund my travel to see more of America’s 63 national parks.
