🌟 Staff Spotlight: Jenny Jackson! 🌟
This week, we’re excited to highlight Jenny Jackson, one of our incredible District Instructional Coaches! Jenny has been a proud member of the Galion City Schools family since 2001—and a Galion Tiger her entire life! 🐯💙
As an Instructional Coach, Jenny finds joy in helping teachers bring learning to life. She loves creating engaging, interactive games and activities that spark curiosity and excitement in the classroom. Supporting educators in building meaningful, joyful learning experiences is at the heart of what she does. Along with a co-teacher are heading up our new Tiger Tech program!!
✨ “Hearing students have fun while learning is what I most enjoy about my job.”
A fun fact about Jenny: even though she’s afraid of heights, she and her family have gone zip-lining multiple times! 🌲😄
Jenny is a proud Galion High School graduate and earned her teaching degree from Ashland University.
Thank you, Jenny, for your dedication, creativity, and unwavering commitment to our students and staff. We’re lucky to have you on the team! 💙📚✨

Don’t forget to set up your child’s Scholastic eWallet — the easiest (and safest!) way for students to shop. It takes just a minute to create, and families can add funds or invite others to contribute. Any leftover balance rolls over for future fairs, too!
Set yours up before Monday so your kiddo is ready to find their next favorite book! 💙📖
