Hi! My name is Leslie Jones and I am entering my 12th year in public education. I’ve had the privilege of teaching children in every grade from Pre-K through 5th in a variety of settings. I love reading rich children’s literature with my students, collaborative planning with my gifted colleagues at OPES, and watching the “light bulbs” come on as children grasp new concepts and skills!  

When I'm not with my precious 2nd graders, you might find me browsing for treasures in antique shops, hiking in the NC mountains, floating over waves at Litchfield Beach, serving in my beloved church, or just hanging out with my dear family and spoiled rotten pups in my home sweet home.
