Mrs. Jennifer Brown
Hi and welcome to my classroom! My name is Jennifer Brown and I have been teaching Kindergarten at Cooper for 17 years. I am a Connecticut native, living in NC for the last 27 years. I graduated from the University of Connecticut (go HUSKIES) and Southern CT State. I have been teaching at the K level for over 26 years. I have been married to my husband, Rich, for 25 years. I have 2 daughters. Elloree is a rising senior at Appalachian State University. Charlie is a rising freshman at UNC Charlotte. Both of my girls are Cooper graduates. This is our second home.
I am so excited to meet all our new Cooper families and welcome you into my classroom. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an email over the break.
Have a wonderful summer!
