Ms. Jackson

Ms. Jackson 5th Grade

My name is Brenda Jackson, and I am beyond excited to be your child's 5th grade teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. This will be my 19th year teaching, having previously taught 2nd, 4th, and 7th.

In my spare time, I love being active! I am an avid runner, having completed many races from distances ranging from 3 miles to 100 miles! I also enjoy cycling, hiking, rock climbing, and swimming. Camping and going to the beach are two of my favorite outdoor activities. On rest days, or when the weather is bad, I enjoy relaxing at home with my dog Piper, watching tv, or reading a book.  I also have 3 nieces and nephews that I love spending time with.

I look forward to working with you all this year!
