This week’s Teacher Feature highlights the incredible Mrs. Jennifer Follett, one of our devoted fourth-grade teachers! Born and raised in Florida, Mrs. Follett has been a valued member of the St. Luke’s family for 22 years, spending her entire teaching career here. She earned her BA in Elementary Education from UCF and her Lutheran Teacher Certificate from Concordia House of Studies.Married for 29 years, she has one son and two sweet dogs. When she’s not in the classroom, you’ll find her traveling and exploring on her electric bike or diving into her beloved Bible study group, which she has been dedicated to for 23 years. Her faith is at the heart of everything she does, and she loves sharing God’s love with her students.
A couple of fun facts about Mrs. Follett—she learned to fly a small plane at just 14 years old, logging 9 hours in the air! She was also a dancer from childhood through college, mastering tap, jazz, modern, baton, flag, and pointe.
Her favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” She cherishes St. Luke’s because it feels like family and gives her the opportunity to help her students grow in their faith. She wants every child to know how much Jesus loves them!
We are so grateful for Mrs. Follett’s unwavering dedication, passion for teaching, and the love she pours into her students every day. St. Luke’s is truly blessed to have her!
