About MeHi, I’m Jayne Woodruff. Las Vegas, Nevada is where I grew up in a close family with one brother, five sisters, and our wonderful parents. I earned my BS and Masters at BYU, so Utah and its amazing scenery and outdoors have been home for quite a while. Before having my family, I did a doctoral study at Ohio State University with Charlotte Huck in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis on Children’s Literature. I’ve taught and enjoyed every elementary grade (K-5) except 6th while living in San Jose, CA, Las Vegas, and now Salt Lake City School District.
My son (Matt), three daughters (Brooke, Heather, and Michele), their spouses and now twelve grandchildren mean everything to me. I try to spend all the time I can get with my family. I |
love the diverse Beacon Heights culture. Beacon kids are the best! I love my students and teaching. At times it has seemed amazing that I get to do all the rewarding and engaging things I do in a day and at the end of the month even get a pay check besides! We have the greatest supportive parents---we are spoiled and we know it and appreciate you. Our faculty and staff are very dedicated and it’s motivating to be part of a team that cares so much about serving our children with an outstanding education.
