Welcome to Snook Kindergarten

Renee Mortenson

Snook Lead Teacher

Hello! My name is Renee Mortenson and I am very excited for my sixth year in Snook Kindergarten at Sigsbee Charter School!

I have a one year old son, Miles and it has been a very special summer, spending everyday together and watching him learn and grow every day. I also enjoy spending time with my dog Rosie and my husband Lee, going out on the water and trying new restaurants around Key West.

I am originally from Medina, Ohio and have lived in Key West for five years. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Ashland University, in Ohio. This school year will be my 10th year of teaching. I previously taught in Kentucky, and in Beijing, China.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and your student this year. I know it will be a great year with lots of learning and memories!

Jenna Halpern

Snook Support Teacher

Hi! My name is Jenna Halpern and this is my second year being a paraprofessional and at Sigsbee. I have two daughters, Mia and Paisley, that attend Sigsbee. The three of us love being Sailfish!

I grew up in Key West and after high school moved to Tallahassee for college. I ended up making Tallahassee my home for thirteen years. Becoming a mom and soaking in the beauty of North Florida. We moved back down to the Keys two years ago to be closer to family and friends. So now I get to watch my girls grow up where I did! 

I'm so excited to meet your littles and spend an awesome school year together!
