About The Teacher

Hi!  My name is Mrs. Jenny and I have been a teacher for over 22 years.  I 
have taught 18 of those years in kindergarten and this will be my 5th year to 
teach Pre-K.  I was born in Mayfield, KY and grew up and went to school in the
Graves Co. schools in KY.  I graduated from Murray State University with a 
Masters Degree in Elementary Education.  I completed my Pre-K endorsement 
at Union University.

I am married to Kevin Yates.  I have 2 daughters (Sarah Halliburton, 22 years 
old/a graduate of GCHS and a student at Jackson State and Rachel Halliburton, 
19 who is a sophomore at the University of Memphis). I also have 2 
stepchilden (Ashley, age 18-also at the Univ. of Memphis and Tyler, age 16 
and in 10th grade at South Gibson Co. High School).

I love reading, traveling and spending time with my children and extended 
family in KY and of course, teaching young children!  I also enjoy being with 
my friends at Englewood Baptist Church in Jackson.
