I am a paraprofessional in Mrs. Gasser’s classroom. I was born and raised in Connecticut, go Red Sox and Patriots! My husband and I are high school sweethearts and we have three children, a 15 year old and 12 year old twins.  We moved to Fountain last October when he was stationed at Fort Carson. Currently, I am one semester away from obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I started working at Conrad last year and I absolutely love it! I love watching preschoolers learn and grow!

I was born and raised in Germany. While I was there, I met my wonderful husband of thirty-two years. We have lived in Fountain for nineteen years with our three sons. I have worked as a paraeducator in special education for School District 8 for seven years. I love my job and the kids with all my heart! I find it very rewarding to come to work here everyday.

I like to be called Jessie. I am a single mom with three wonderful kids. In my spare time I am a Girl Scout Leader, a Cub Scout Leader and a tutor for the Children’s Literacy Center. I also love to read. This is my fourth year with District 8 and my third year in preschool. I love working with preschoolers because they always keep you on your toes.

I am a PARA in Miss Dee's morning class and Miss Amanda's afternoon class. I started with District 8 in 2017 and love being in the preschool classroom. My husband and I have 3 boys, 8th grade, 7th grade, and 3rd grade. I have an associates degree in Early Childhood Education and am currently taking classes at UCCS working towards my Inclusive early childhood education teaching license. I love to camp with my family and our 2 dogs!

I am a para in Mrs. Gasser’s and Mrs. Zdeb’s room. I am also currently a full time college student at Pikes Peak Community College. I am working towards my bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education. I would love to be a pre-school teacher at Conrad Early Learning Center. I love working with kids and helping them be successful. My favorite hobbies include school and playing tennis.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, the oldest of eleven children. I joined the US Army right out of high school, where I met and married my husband who was also a soldier. We are now both retired from the army. We have been married for 37 years, have 5 wonderful children and 5 beautiful grandchildren. I have been working as a para in the FFC8 district for 10 years, 8 of them with Mrs. Fonkert. I love working with preschool-aged children, watching them grow and learn new skills everyday.

I have worked for FFC8 since 2000. All of those years, I have been in preschool. I really enjoy these kids! I have two kids of my own. A boy and a girl and I also have a one year old grandson I’m enjoying. I have lived in the Fountain area for 26 years.
