About Jennifer Leichty
Hi! I am Jennifer Leichty. I began my teaching career at Mount Zion Christian School in Greenville, South Carolina, where I taught third grade. I then took a few years off from teaching and was a nanny for two young children. I returned to teaching at Melcher Dallas Community Schools. I taught third grade, kindergarten, and first grade while I was at Melcher Dallas. I then went to Ames Christian School and taught a 3rd /4th grade combination class and now I currently am teaching 4th grade at Ames Christian School. I love teaching and working with children.
I also teach piano lessons and love music. In my free time, I love being outside and going for walks. In the summer I enjoy running and doing a couple 5K races. I love spending time with my family and friends. My favorite place to vacation is the beach.
