Hello!
My name is Anthony Solomon, and I'll be your student's music teacher at Jenkins Elementary School! I graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Music, and I am currently attending James Madison University for my master's degree in education. This is my 6th year teaching music and my 8th year with Prince William County Public Schools. I have two dogs, Carrie and Lucy, and two cats, Baldr and Thor. On the weekends, my husband and I love to cook together and watch movies. I'm excited to continue growing the music program at Jenkins Elementary School!

Hello Yellow Jacket Families,

My name is Angelo Carmina, I will be your child's Physical Education teacher this school year. Here is a little information about me: I am originally from Buffalo, NY, and a diehard Buffalo Bills fan. My wife's name is Cindi, and we have 2 wonderful daughters. Victoria is an Art teacher and Gabrielle is graduating in May with a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy.

This will be my 37th year teaching Physical Education. I enjoy cooking, watching the Buffalo Bills (Super Bowl this year 😊), & watching Dateline.

I am very excited to have your child in my class this year!

 Hello, Families! My name is Mrs. Goff, and I will be teaching PE at Jenkins this year.  I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana.  I studied Environmental Management and Criminal Justice at Indiana University.  I later earned my teaching license and then masters in early education through IU, as well.

This is my 19th year teaching in Prince William County. I have taught both 2nd and 3rd grade, the majority of my time being in 2nd grade. I am excited to transition into this role of a physical education teacher so I can spark an interest in physical activity in those children who have yet to find the joy in movement, as well as further the enjoyment in those students who already know the many benefits of living active lifestyles.

I have two daughters, Alexy and Raina. They attend Benton Middle School and Colgan High School. I also have a 150 lb Cane Corso puppy who grows a little more each day. Additionally, I have a sweet surro baby who lives in Chicago.

When I’m not at school, I am probably spending time with my family, reading, running, or enjoying a Peloton class.

Welcome to the John D. Jenkins library!   

I am Jackie Youngblood, your school librarian. I have been a classroom teacher for 10 years in PWCS and then received my master's in library science at Old Dominion University and have been a librarian for the past six years.

I have a daughter, Caroline, that is a junior in college, and my son, Ryan is a senior at Woodbridge Senior High School. My husband, Steve works in the area and enjoys working at the book fairs in the library.

In my free time, I love reading, cooking, working on puzzles, and spending time with my family at the beach. I have two cats Neko and Oliver that love to sit on our deck watching the birds.  

 

 

 

Kate RogersHello! I am Kate Rogers and I am excited to begin another year at Jenkins as your Library Media Assistant. You will get to know me at the circulation desk when you check out and return books to the library.

I live close to Jenkins and I am a mother to three young men. One of my sons goes to school at Woodbridge Senior High School and my other two are in college.

In my spare time, I love to garden, watch true crime shows, shop, travel and spend time with my family.
