My name is Jennifer Sahagian. I am married to my wonderful husband, Matt and we welcomed our sweet baby boy this spring, Maverick. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York with my younger brother Russell and yes, I am a hockey fan (GO NYRANGERS)! I am thrilled to be starting another fantastic year at Sonntag Elementary with your little ones!

I received my undergraduate degree from Dowling College in Special Education/Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology, and my Masters Degree from Long Island University in Literacy Education. This will be my 11th year in education and 6th year at Sonntag with previous experiences in kindergarten, first, second, special education, and as a literacy specialist!

My husband and I moved to Texas in 2019 with our THREE Alaskan Huskies: Zero, Nymeria, and Ash! We love to take our pups out for walks, stroll around downtown McKinney, and have friends and family over for game nights! I also enjoy a good thriller or sci-fi book, cooking new recipes (and some old family favorites), and watching Disney movies! My brother and I are OBSESSED with A Goofy Movie!

It is my personal goal and philosophy that every child receives education in a respectful, safe, and loving environment. I enjoy having fun with my students while connecting with them on a personal level to build meaningful relationships that will foster learning, independence, and confidence. 

Mrs. Sahagian's birthday is June 1st.

She sang at Carnegie Hall twice with two different chamber choirs. 

Mrs. Sahagian visited an elephant sanctuary in Thailand where she was able to feed, bathe, and take care of elephants!
