My name is Jennifer (Jenn) Van Vorst and I’ll be starting my seventh year of teaching in the fall of 2024. At DCIS at Fairmont, I have a dual role as a special education teacher and reading specialist. It’s a great opportunity for me to combine my passion for reading instruction and my experience in special education. I have a M.A in TESOL, an M.Ed. in Special Education, and an M.Ed. in Reading. I am a California native (8 generations). I am originally from Sacramento but I’ve lived all over. I’ve lived in Northern and Southern CA, Paris, Hungary (Budapest and Debrecen), Amsterdam, and Oregon. I landed in Denver about 20 years ago and love it.
I am a mother of two teenage boys, 19 and 17. My oldest is a junior in college at University of Pittsburgh and my youngest is a senior at Manual High School. They both play competitive baseball which makes summer time amazing and busy.
My hobbies are record collecting, sewing, traveling, playing the SIMS4 and plant hoarding and watching baseball of course!
