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 five years. I have a daughter, Caroline, that is a freshman in college and my son, Ryan is a sophomore at Woodbridge Senior High School. My husband, Steve works in the area and enjoys working 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.

Hello! 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. Two of my sons go to school at Woodbridge Senior High School and my oldest is in college. In my spare time I love to garden, watch true crime shows, shop, travel and spend time with my family.

We are so excited to meet all of you and show you all the library has to offer! We will learn so much this year together! Stop by the library and discover new resources and share what you like to read!

Happy Reading,

Mrs. Youngblood and Mrs. Rogers

This is Lindsay Todd “Coach Todd” (formerly Coach Bow) and I am so excited to be your child's gym teacher at John D Jenkins Elementary. I was raised in Pensacola, Florida and my Air Force husband and I have been in Virginia for just over a year.

I knew from early in high school that I wanted to work with children in the health field. I went to the University of West Florida and received my degree in Physical Education Teacher Education. This will be my 9^th year teaching elementary PE.

I love that my job can so heavily influence how a child chooses to take care of their mind, body, and soul through physical activity for the rest of their life. Every person is different and will connect with different types of activities! My goal is to show every student just a taste of the hundreds of ways to stay active and live a healthy lifestyle in the hopes that they will find at least one new thing that they love and want to pursue outside of school and into a healthy and balanced future.

Outside of fitness and sports, I love hiking with my husband, finding new places to eat, FaceTiming with my mom, nephews, sisters, and brother, watching movies, reading books of most genres (scary/suspense keep me up at night), and drinking tea while playing Sudoku.

Please reach out to me if you have any concerns.
