AUDREY WINKLER - PARAPROFESSIONAL
Hi, I’m Audrey! I’m a proud mom of four and a passionate homesteader who loves raising animals and growing food. After spending a few years at home with my kids and building our little farm, I’m excited to be going back to work for the school. I enjoy being part of the community and am looking forward to making a positive impact on my children and everyone else's!
JENNIFER KENNICKER - ELEMENTARY MUSIC
Hi Easton Valley! My name is Jenni Kennicker and I am the new K-6 music and 5/6 band teacher. My family moved to Eastern Iowa after living and teaching in Northern Iowa for three years. I worked as both a music teacher and a music therapist for kids and the elderly. My home is filled with lots of love and energy with my husband, two large dogs, and daughter Margot (1 year old)! When I’m not teaching I’m trying to develop my skill of quilting and sewing - I hope to add a few homemade decorations in our music space! I can’t wait to work hard and give the students an awesome music experience this year!!
