Coffee with Coffey
Hello Jaguar Family
My name is Dr. Lauren Coffey. I am so proud to be one of the counselors for Jeffersontown Elementary School. A little about myself: I completed my student teaching at Jtown many years ago. I taught at Tully Elementary for nine years and worked at Hazelwood Elementary as their Social Emotional Learning teacher for three years. I have a 13-year-old daughter, and most of the time, if I am not working, you can find me at the soccer field with her. I am a dog lover, and we have two furbabies: Lucy & Letti.
I look forward to getting to know all of our little Jags and the supportive adults in their lives. Please email me at lauren.goodwin-coffey@jefferson.kyschools.us or call the school (502-485-8274) if I can support our Jags in any way. Thank you!
