Ï㽶ӰÊÓ

My name is April Widener. The 2022-2023 school year was my thirteenth year teaching and my first at Jefferson.

I have been married for twelve years to Paul, and we have one daughter, Allie.  We love camping and visiting Lancaster, Pennsylvania as often as possible. We have two dogs, Nacho & Dixie. I am a 2009 graduate of Columbia College (B. A. in Early Childhood Education).  After graduation, I took the advice of Dr. Laura Bacon (former Busbee Principal) and obtained my certification in Elementary Education (2013). I also have a Masters of Education in Teaching from USC-Columbia (2016), as well as a Masters in Special Education from Grand Canyon University(2019), and I am endorsed to teach Gifted and Talented students. I am always looking for more ways to increase my knowledge and learn new strategies for reaching my students and furthering my passion for teaching.

I hope everyone has a great summer! See you July 25th!
