Fourth Grade Team
Teacher
Jessica joined the Elkhart community in 2012, making this her 10th year at Elkhart and 17th year teaching! She is the mother of two daughters, one that is also a teacher and another daughter that is a senior in high school. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family. She absolutely loves teaching!
My job is to accelerate learning for every APS student, every day.
I do my job by always putting students first, through my actions, my words and my intentional moves to not only teach them but inspire them.
My community needs me to do my job.

Teacher
Katrena Gunn will be teaching fourth grade this year. After teaching in Japan, she's excited to be back. Katrena traveled a lot with her husband and two dogs due to the military. Since then, her family has grown, and she now has a sweet little boy. When she's not teaching, you'll find her drawing, reading, or enjoying time with her family.
