Welcome to second grade at Bryan School!  My name is Jeni Franks and I have been teaching for 21 years.  I've taught kindergarten, first, and second grade.  Teaching second graders is my passion!  I received my B. S. Degree from the University of Idaho with an Elementary Teaching Certificate in grades K-8.

Bryan School has a special place in my heart.  As a child, I attended Bryan School, which is where I decided that I knew I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up.  Believe it or not, my husband also attended Bryan School when he was a kid.  I am the proud mother of two amazing boys who are 17 and 15 years old. Coeur d'Alene has been my home for the past 32 years.  I feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place!  My family's new found interest is kayaking.  This summer we spent many hours on adventures with our kayaks.  I love to take my two Boxer dogs for walks, work in my flower gardens, and watch my boys play football.  I am a very proud auntie to my identical twin nephews!  My very favorite place to visit is the ocean!! I believe in teaching every child to be a life-long learner! 

Bryan School is such a fabulous place to be!  Go Bryan Bears!!
