Hello! My name is Jessica Ham and I am thrilled to be your child's Kindergarten teacher. I am a product of the wonderful Columbia County School System and teaching is one of my biggest passions. This is my 20th year teaching. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade but I must say that Kindergarten is the BEST! It is a time of new beginnings, of making new friends, and of learning new things every day. You will be amazed at how much your child will learn and grow this year. 

     In my spare time, I enjoy interior design, nature, crafting, and antiquing. I believe there is beauty in simplicity and love to embrace life's simple pleasures. I love spending time with my family and friends and loving on my 3 dachshunds (Scooter, Frank, and Ruby) and chihuahua/dachshund mix (Peanut). One of my most favorite things to do is to sit and relax with an iced latte. For the last 8 years, I have hosted  exchange students from Spain, Germany, and Belgium. I just welcomed my 11th exchange student into my home. 

     I look forward to working with you all this year and getting to know your child as we build our classroom family together. Thank you for sharing your precious children with me!
