About the teachers 

My name is Mrs. Jennifer Surin, and  I will be your child’s K4 teacher! My husband Gary, our 16 year old daughter, Savannah, and our Yorkie, Delia,  moved up from Orlando, Florida  in 2016, but originally …I’m a New Yorker! We live near Paris Mountain State Park, in Taylors. This will  be my 26th  year of Teaching!  This is my seventh year at Duncan Chapel. Since I’ve been here, I’ve taught first grade, Kindergarten, and this is my 4th  year in K4. 

I'm very excited to share my days with energetic, young, learners!
