Hello, My name is Luke Dunlap and I am a first grade teacher at Jefferson. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2021 with a bachelors in Elementary Education. I have been at Jefferson Elementary since 2022. I love to spend time with my dog Gus, play video games, and build anything with Legos. What I love most about teaching first grade is watching the kids become exceptional readers.

Hello! I am Jennifer Johnson, 1^st grade teacher. I am a graduate of University of Iowa with an emphasis in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. My Master’s degree is in Curriculum and Instruction. I grew up in Granger, Iowa with 8 brothers and sisters on an vegetable farm.  I currently live on the southside with my husband John, who is a retired elementary principal. Our daughter Annie attended Jefferson and is now a Chemical Engineer in Omaha. Our son Joey is currently attending Iowa State. I am so fortunate to teach in my neighborhood with the best families and children. I enjoy cooking, traveling, sports and spending time with family and friends.
