Hello y'all! My name is Jenna Harbour and I am so eager to be teaching 3rd Grade at Oakview Elementary School! I can't wait to become a huge part of the lives of your children this year. Together, as a team, we can accomplish so much! I can't wait to see what the year has in store for us!
I was born and raised in North Carolina! I grew up in the small town of Mount Holly, went on to study at East Carolina University, taught 5th and 3rd Grade in Greenville, NC, and am currently residing in Apex to continue my teaching career! I am the proud mom of three fur children; Addie, Lana, and Margo. In my free time, I really enjoy reading awesome books, traveling (usually to the beach), crafting, dancing, trying new foods, and spending time with friends!
As mentioned, I graduated from East Carolina University in 2018 with a B.S. in Elementary Education, concentrating in science. While attending ECU, I was a member of the Dance Team for all 4 years, becoming the captain my -senior year. This year will be my sixth year teaching, however, I like to refer to it as my sixth and a half year! I was a long term substitute at Northwest Elementary School to finish up the 2017-2018 school year. Following my time as a long term substitute, I was offered a full-time position in 3rd Grade for the following year! I am very passionate about creating a growth mindset and a love for learning in every child that enters my room! See the video on my home page to learn more about growth mindset.
