Staff Spotlight:

Ms Jesske is a teacher at Ruth King. She teaches at the library and works with students in small groups.

She has worked here before in 2012, but then she came back here in  2021. Before Ms. Jesske came to Ruth King, she worked at David Cameron Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, and Wishart Elementary.

Her favorite part about working at Ruth King are the staff and students. When she’s not working some of her favorite things are reading, watching, movies and spending time with her family. Her favorite book is The Berenstain Bears.

 

****BONUS FACTS****

When Ms. Jesske was in elementary school, she wanted to be a teacher, and she and Ms. Verdel’s daughter used to play school and fight over who got to be the teacher.

Ms. Jesske was once taught by Ms. Bloom at Spencer Middle School and by Ms. van der Leeden at Belmont.
