A Golden Eagle from TN Tech with teaching experience, I moved to Cumming in 2001, and try to make being outdoors at Lake Lanier a daily experience. I also love reading novels and history of Lake Lanier. My daughter and family live in TN and visit as often as schedules allow. I love attending the kids' soccer, lacrosse, T-ball games, & cross-country meets. My teaching experience spans from 9th grade General Science all the way down to Kindergarten Math. I am excited for another great year!

Jenny Owens

I have been teaching for over 20 years, and I have been at Matt since it opened in 2001.  I received my Bachelor's degree from Berry College, my Master's degree from Brenau University, and my Education Specialist degree from Piedmont College.  My teaching experience ranges from high school to preschool, but elementary grades are truly where I love to be!  My favorite aspect of teaching is getting to know each student as an individual and forming a caring relationship with each one.  I desire to model my love of learning for my students and inspire them to do the same.  In my spare time I love spending time with my family, making quilts, and reading.
