Hi!  My name is Jennifer DeArmitt.  I would like to share with you a brief summary of my life.

I grew up right here in Shelby County, where I lived on my parents' farm.  I attended Southwestern Elementary and High School and had a great time participating in sports such as basketball, volleyball, softball, and track.  Playing the trumpet in the band was another highlight of my school days.  In the summer time, I enjoyed life guarding and teaching swimming lessons. 

Following high school, I attended Northern Kentucky University for two years.  Then transferred to Franklin College to finish my education degree.  I've always loved helping children learn.  So I was excited to become a teacher.

After graduation, I taught kindergarten for one year at a private school in Greenwood. The next fall, I was hired at Break-O-Day Elementary in New Whiteland where I taught first and second grades for six years.  

Meanwhile, while attending Franklin College, I met the man I married.  He attended Indiana University Law School after graduating from Franklin College.  We have three children. Our daughter is seven years old, and our sons are three and one.  They keep us hopping!

Three years ago, my husband and I built a home on my parents' nearby farm.  I taught one year of fourth grade and a year in second grade at Southwestern Elementary School.  

And now... here I am at Coulston Elementary.  It's a fantastic school full of teachers and staff that are truly dedicated to each and every student.  What a wonderful place to be!  I love my job and I'm looking forward to helping children learn and grow for many years to come.
