Mrs. Jessica Low is the type of teacher I aspire to be. Her quick wit and keen intellect provide the icing on the cake of a classroom experience that is the grounded in the curriculum and best-practices of her subject. She patiently collaborates and assists her team each year, puts in countless hours of research and lesson planning, and is a fierce advocate for teachers and public education. From “Dr. Who-ifying” her writing units to dealing with some of our most difficult students, she is both creative and professional.

The 7th graders that are currently in Utah Studies had the opportunity to go to This is the Place State Park. We had such a great time learning about the history of Utah. We learned about the Navajo Hogans, the life of a mountain man, how to pull a handcart, the business of saddle making, black smithing, and how a school was run in the 1800's. The students realized that they really have it easy in this day and age since the teachers don't make them wear dunce caps and make them stand against the walls. We had a great time and it was an awesome learning experience.
