Hi Jaguars! My name is Laura Ballard, and I am the "ladybug lady" for grades K, 2, and 4. I have worked in education for 13 years. I am so excited to be at Jenks, and look forward to a great school year!
While at school I love spending time with students! I believe in building relationships so that all my students feel safe and comfortable coming to me with any problems or concerns they have. I encourage students, parents, and staff to stop by office any time to visit. You are always welcome! When not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am married to my husband, Adam, and we have four wonderful kiddos. |

Philosophy |
I believe children will achieve more success, academically and emotionally, if they feel supported and cared for. It is my goal to ensure all students I work with know that I support and care for them. Their academic and emotional success is my main priority.
