Welcome to Third Grade! My name is Jennifer Porter, and I am so excited to be a teacher at Lincoln School. I grew up in Peru, Illinois and attended LP High School. I graduated from Augustana College with my Bachelor of Arts degree in 1993. My husband and I moved to the Northwest Suburbs, and I taught at Mark Twain Elementary School. After the birth of our twin boys, we moved back to the Illinois Valley. I taught at Northview School for four and a half years before joining the staff at Oglesby Public Schools. This is my 19th year in the classroom and my 11th year as a Bulldog. Over the years I have taught in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Third grade has always been my favorite!
I currently live in Oglesby with my husband, Mike, and our three boys Justin, Ryan, and Brayden. We also have a lovable cocker spaniel named Gracie Belle. In my spare time, I love to read, scrapbook, walk, and spend time with my family.
