I love teaching because I can touch the lives of children in the community that I love. I can actually make a difference!

Tell us why you became a teacher

Started out wanted to have the same schedule as my own kids. Ended up realizing that I was one of the best teachers I ever had and my love of learning and teaching children blossomed into the most rewarding career choice I could have ever imagined .

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

After reading Charlotte’s Web with my third graders, a sweet, but tough skinned boy, came to me holding the book tightly to his heart, tears in his eyes, and he said “Mrs. Jackson, I LOVE this book.” What a breakthrough 💕

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take my four grown children, husband and seven grandchildren on a big beach vacation to celebrate my upcoming retirement after 21 years!
