Welcome! My name is Ms. Jenkins. I am a former Trenton Catholic Academy graduate from both the Lower School and Upper School. I graduated from Cabrini University and studied Middle Level Education with a concentration in English.

I am going to be teaching 7th and 8th grade ILA, and 8A Religion. I am looking forward to an exciting and challenging year!

ELA encompasses many different topics such as: grammar, vocabulary, figurative language, reading comprehension in short stories and novels, and poetry. The two novels that middle school will be reading are the following: 7th grade- The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton; 8th grade- The Giver by Lois Lowry.

As a former TCA graduate, I am glad to be back "home" where I can inspire students to believe, dream, and succeed!

Tutoring will be on Wednesdays from 2:20-3:20
