Hello! My name is Amilyn Konopki, and I was born and raised in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The 25-26 school year will be my first year as a Jeffreys Grove Eagle, but I have previously been a school counselor in the northern Virginia area. I reside here with my fiance, Winn, and our labrador retriever, Bo. 

Outside of school, some of the things I enjoy are running/working out, shopping, hanging out with friends/family, and being at the beach. I also am a huge college football fan and cheer on the Penn State Nittany Lions (WE ARE).

Outside of school I am a full time hockey mom! We love traveling to watch my son play and of course the Carolina Hurricanes! I also enjoy spending time with family and friends and visiting the NC mountains or beaches. My favorites are Beaufort and Boone.

Hello!  My name is Jessica Stewart and I am the school nurse for Jeffreys Grove and Barton Pond Elementary Schools. I have been a school nurse for 6 years and a nurse for 28 years.

Hi everyone! My name is Gaby Lyons. I was born in Panama City, Panama but was raised in Buffalo, NY.  I moved to Cary, NC, four years ago to complete a master’s program  in communication sciences and disorders at North Carolina Central University. Prior to becoming a speech pathologist, I was a high school Spanish and French teacher in Buffalo. I grew up speaking Spanish and English at home and as an adult, I learned French and Brazilian Portuguese. I am passionate about supporting bilingual students and am excited about this new experience! 

In my free time, I love to travel, read, and spend time with friends and family. This summer, I spent three weeks traveling in Brazil and Argentina.
