	Welcome to English Language Arts
Hello! My name is Ms. Mead and I've had the honor of teaching at JMS for the last 15 years. I am glad to be part of a math and science specialty school that prides itself on inquiry. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master's degree in education, both from the University of Minnesota. I grew up in the Anoka-Hennepin school district and graduated from Blaine High School.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our children, and our grandchildren. I also love to read (of course), and I belong to a fabulous book club that meets every month. My husband and I ride motorcycles and spend time fishing and doing anything outdoors during the summer. In the winter, we hibernate!I am excited about this school year, and I look forward to getting to know my students and their families.
