EMERSON

I began my teaching career in 1994 at the elementary level.  I taught from 2^nd grade through 8^th Grade.

I have been in the educational realm for a total of 25 years which includes 2 years as an administrator/principal in Colorado and 1 year as an early childhood supervisor on Vance Air Force Base. 

Hello,

     My name is Sylvie Fontaine Jacobs.  This year begins my 25^th year in education.  I love working with the awesome staff at Emerson Middle School.  I am the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade Title 1 teacher, the ELL teacher, and the Emerson Math Coach.

            I moved to Oklahoma from Colorado in 2012.  I have been married to James Fontaine Jacobs for 7 years. I have 4 children.  Two of my girls, Nikita and Whitney graduated as Registered Nurses and my son graduated with a microbiology degree but decided to become an elementary teacher.  Shena, who I considered my daughter, passed away 3 years ago ending her battle with Severe Spina Bifida.  In addition, I have 3 step-children – Justin, Alex, and Madison.  Justin and Alex graduated from EHS and Madison will be a sophomore at Enid High this school year. 

           I am looking forward this school year with your children.  I have a great passion for the teaching profession, but my greatest passion in education is to educate students as my motto is

                                          “CAPTURE the kids’ hearts, CAPTURE their minds.”

Hobbies:  Reading, Quilting, Watching TV, Surfing the Web, Making Kahoot lessons.
