Jami Jones Director of Pre-K This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. |
My name is Jami Jones, and I am the director of 1st Pres PreK! I moved to Muncie in 2001 when I attended Ball State to earn my Master’s Degree. I am married to Mike and we have one daughter, Mia. I have over 15 years of classroom experience including grades 1-9, with most of my time spent in Middle School Language Arts. I have a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration. Before taking this position, I was a stay at home mom with Mia. This gave me the opportunity to spend time on projects at church, volunteer with community organizations, and aid in Mia’s classrooms. Mia attended 1st Pres for three years, and we have felt like it is a family. |
