Welcome to 4th Grade
Ms. Kristy Genetti
Hello Families,
My name is Mrs. Genetti. I will be your child's 4th-grade teacher. This is my 11th year teaching. I have taught 1st grade for eight years, pre-school for one year in Australia, teacher assistant for three years in England, and 3rd-grade last year at a private school. This is my first year teaching 4th grade and my first-year teaching in the public sector. I am excited to have your child in my class this year.
My husband and I both grew up in Wyoming. I have two children, Emma and Eli. My family and I enjoy traveling, cooking, reading, and playing board games.
I am looking forward to meeting each of you!

Dear Families-
My name is Mrs. Golon. I am so excited for my second year teaching 4th grade here at John Jenkins Elementary! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your child. Together we will achieve great success and have a fantastic year!
I grew up in Delaware where I got my bachelor’s at the University of Delaware. After graduating I quickly received my Masters in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I taught elementary for 6 years in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Virginia where I also pursued and achieved a licensure in Gifted Education. Then, I taught 5th grade in Bahrain for two years before having my 4 beautiful children. I also have extensive experience with Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia.
I can’t wait to meet you and start an exciting year at Jenkins!

Hello Families,
Welcome to fourth grade! My name is Mrs. Lambert and I will be your teacher for the 2023-2024 school year.
I am from the beautiful island of Jamaica where I’ve been a teacher for 16 years. This will be my third year teaching at Jenkins. I have a bachelor’s degree in Primary/Elementary Education and I’m currently pursuing my Masters in Elementary Education. When I’m not teaching, I love to listen to music and having some quiet, relaxing time.
I hope you had an enjoyable summer and are ready for many new and exciting experiences. I am looking forward to meeting you and starting our incredible year together.
Mrs. Lambert
Mr. Arnaldo Perez
Hello Jenkins Family,
My name is Arnaldo Perez, and I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year. I’ve been teaching third and fourth grade in Belize C.A. for the past 15 years. I have a bachelor’s degree in Primary Education, and I am presently pursuing a master’s degree in education from a university in Mexico. My love and passion for teaching has never stopped growing and my goal this year is to train myself in special education to better serve our children.
I am happily married to Ms. Nah, one of our kindergarten teachers here at Jenkins. We have a beautiful and energetic two-year-old son named Matthew, who is in love with Thomas and Friends trains. I use my spare time to be with my little family and play some ball games with Matthew.
I look forward to having an amazing school year as we work together to help our children succeed and reach their fullest potential.
Yours in Education,
Arnaldo Perez,
4th Grade Teacher
