My name is Dana Jenkins and I am starting my second year at Oxford Middle School.  I graduated with my master's degree in K-12 collaborative education from Jacksonville State University.  I received my bachelor's degree in elementary education from Western Illinois University.  Originally, I taught third and fourth grades at Madison Elementary School in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  I also had the opportunity to work at Jacksonville State University as an educational technology support specialist.  Currently I co-teach 8th grade English and math at OMS.

I have four awesome boys.  Two recently graduated from White Plains High School, my younger boys are in the 5th and 10th grade.
