Meet Mrs. Blankman

Welcome to First Grade!

Hi! My name is Jennifer Blankman. I am so excited to have your child in class this year! It's going to be a great year! I am married to my husband, Don, and we have two children. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Ball State University. I taught for nine years at Washington Elementary. I resigned when I was expecting my first child. I became a stay at home mom and stayed home for about ten years while I raised my sons, Michael and David. Once David was in kindergarten, I was hired for the part time music position at St. Mary's. The next year I was placed in the first grade. It's been a blessing to me to be placed in this school and this position. I tell people often that I have the joy and privilege of being able to speak of Jesus freely in the classroom! My mission is to nurture the faith that my school families have lovingly instilled in their children. My goal is to work each day to help the children deepen their faith, and add tools to their spiritual toolbox. I believe that we, as a team, are sending forth the Light of Christ into the world!
