Email: Mrs. Jennifer Buckingham

My name is Jennifer Buckingham and I have been teaching at Chapel Hill Christian School since 2005. It is a privilege to teach your child and I am so excited to teach kindergarten! This will be an exciting year for your child as well. He or she will begin to develop responsibilities, self-control, new social skills, and the essentials for reading and writing.

I was born in Akron and raised in the country on the outskirts of Wadsworth. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from The Ohio State University. I took additional course work at the University of Akron and received a second Bachelor's Degree. I did substitute teaching two years prior to accepting this position at Chapel Hill Christian School.

I am pleased that you have chosen a Christian elementary school for your child. I will be committed to praying for your child on a daily basis and helping him or her to develop a relationship with God that will glorify Him in all that we do here at school. I am looking forward to developing a parent-teacher relationship with you. Feel free to contact me and stop by to see the wonderful things we are doing in class!

Kindergarten is a year to enjoy learning, making friends, progress academically at various developmental levels, become independent, and to grow close to knowing Christ and developing a relationship with Him.
