Hey there! My name is Ashley Gann. I am so excited for this year and to be your child's 1st grade teacher. I have been married for 7 years to my husband Aaron and we have 3 children. Lilly (14), Avery (10), and Carson (12) who attend Cabot Schools where I am from. I received my Bachelor's degree in History with a minor and Criminal Justice.

My name is Tiffinie Martin and I want to welcome you and your child to my first grade class. I want to share a little about myself with you. I have been married for 22 years next month to my college sweetheart, Mark Martin (not the race car driver). We have two boys, Drake, 20, and Kade, 16. I have a Master’s in Arts in Teaching from UCA and many years of experience working with children. It truly is my passion. I love to learn and know your child will teach me daily as I stretch their minds and watch them grow. Here at JES I have been an Academic Interventionist, and I have taught 3rd, 1st, and 2nd grade’s. I am excited about all this school year holds for us and getting to know you and your child. So again, WELCOME!

Hello everyone! My name is Olivia Juarez. I am so glad to have you and get to know you. This is my first year of teaching. I am from NWA and now live in Conway. I also just recently got married to my best friend since High School. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was your age because I wanted to challenge myself and others. We are going to learn a lot this year but also have fun. I can’t wait!

My name is Katie Meyers. This will be my sixth year teaching. I have lived in Jacksonville most of my life and I love this town. My hobbies include reading and learning new things, drawing and painting, petting dogs, and taking road trips. Before I became a teacher, I went to school for art and design. I love collecting all sorts of things and I especially love the drawings my students make. I look forward to seeing my old students grow and meeting new students each year. I look forward to working hard together with my scholars and their families.
