Hola! My name is Mr. Miguel Narbona and I am a TA in the 1st grade Spanish Immersion program. This is my second year in Jeffrey's Grove. I am from Seville, Spain. I have lived in Raleigh for 8 years. I am married. My wife, Suzanne, and I have two children Patricia(15) and Miguel(11). I love spending time with my family, playing soccer, cooking , traveling and volunteering. I am a board member of Triangle Literacy Council.

Hi, I'm Diane Lawson!

I am an I/A and have worked at JG since 2010.

My work has been with Pre-K, 1st grade, Intervention and this year with EBS.

I am married, have 2 daughters and one beautiful granddaughter who is 5.

I enjoy traveling, gardening and being with my grandchild.

I’ve been at Jeffreys Grove for 3o years so I feel very comfortable here and I love my job!  I also like movies, reading and traveling to new places.  Working in Special Education has been a fulfilling adventure that I hope to continue for years to come!

I have been an instructional assistant for 12 years and have been lucky enough to be at Jeffreys Grove since 2010.  Kindergarten is my specialty!  I am also a mother of 23-year-old twins, Tim and Jenn.  I enjoy exercise, movies, reading and spending time with friends.

I graduated from Siena College in Loudonville, New York with a B.A. in Psychology.

My name is Kathryn Peedin and I have been an assistant at Jeffreys Grove for 15 years. I grew up in the Raleigh area, graduated from Sanderson High School, and have lived in Franklin County for 31 years. I was a substitute teacher for Franklin County Schools for six years before starting at JG. I graduated from UNCW with a BA in French. I have been married for 33 years and we have two daughters, 28 and 26-one lives in eastern NC and the other in western NC, with their husbands.

I've worked at Jeffreys Grove for 17 years as an Instructional Assistant.  I've worked in Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd grade.  I have two grown sons, Jason and Kevin and a furbaby named Bently.  I enjoy reading, traveling, music, concerts, and spending time with my family.

I am a recent graduate from Westerns Governors University with a BA Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I plan out returning to school in hopes of becoming a reading specialist. My wife and I have nine fur babies (all cats). I also enjoy reading several good books. I would highly recommend reading The Passionate Teacher and Punished by Rewards. I hope to make a positive influence in everyone I work with at Jeffrey’s Grove Elementary.
