I would like to nominate Mrs. Jabo from Olive Knolls for the
educator of the month. She is the Pre-K teacher that everyone wants! She
is a small woman who makes a huge difference in every child's life that
she encounters. Both of my children have had her before they enter the
world of kindergarten. We meet Mrs. Jabo before my kids were in her
class because she was the nice lady with a smile who would pull my
crying daughter off of my leg long enough for me to run out the door. The
next year that same crying, little girl had Mrs. Jabo for Pre-K and
never shed a tear again! Now my son, a little more of a challenge, is in
her class and is learning so much. Every child is different and Mrs.
Jabo knows how to handle them all while getting them ready for
kindergarten. It is amazing how much they learn and grow while with her. They
learn to read, write, sing, plant gardens, eat healthy, and about their
bodies. Before I took my kids to Olive Knolls, I had heard about this
amazing teacher named Mrs. Jabo, and now that I have known her for 5
years, I now understand why everyone said, "You have to have Mrs. Jabo
for your kids!" I would like to thank Mrs. Jabo for loving my kids
everyday while I was at work and for teaching my kids to read and love
school!

Hey Julie - You are absolutely right . . . Mrs. Jabo is worth her weight (and much, much more) in gold for the wonderful job she does with the little ones. My girls were also both in her class and they still talk about her and scream "hello" to her each time we drive down Olive Drive. She is indeed the best introduction to school a child (or parent) could ever ask for. We are forever indebted to Mrs. Jabo for her caring ways and for giving our girls such a positive first experience with education. P.S. - Tell Sierra hello from Allison. :)
