posted Mar 4, 2012 2:55 PM by Jennifer Hartley

I am married and have two terrific boys, Austen and Nicholas. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I will graduate in the fall 2011 with my Master's in Reading and Literacy through Walden University!! Woohoo!

2011-2012 will be my 7th year of teaching! I am a fifth grade teacher with Hamilton County and proud to represent Spring Creek Elementary School. I love my administrators, co-workers, and the environment that SCE provides for the students. Wouldn't want to work anywhere else! Not many people can say that about their jobs...

In my free time (rare!), I hang out with my wonderful husband, two very cherished boys, and my sweet little baby girl Chihuahua Jubilee! I also enjoy reading, watching my favorite television shows, listening to music, reading news on the Internet, talking to friends, and just RELAXING! :)
