Meet Monroe County Achievement Center Spotlight Teacher for September! Sponsored by Big Peach Car Wash.
Jennifer (Jen) Bond is the FLP teacher at MCAC. She has been teaching in various capacities for 23 years. Teaching is Mrs. Bond’s third career. She went through the "Teach for GA" program in 2001 and went on to get her certification and Master's from Georgia State University. Mrs. Bond went to her first "teaching fair" in Clayton Co. and came away with a job at Lovejoy High School. While teaching there, she was living in Gwinnett Co. She and her husband decided to look for a place closer to her job and ended up in Barnesville. After she moved, she started going to Macon shopping and every time she passed the Mary Person sign, she would say, "I believe that I will be here someday". In 2006, an opening became available in the ACCESS program and she applied. She has been in Monroe County ever since. She has worked at MPHS in various roles; MPFC as a co-teacher in Science and History; and finally at MCAC as the FLP teacher. She is starting my 3rd year at MCAC and LOVES working with ALL her students! Mrs. Bond has a favorite memory of teaching. While at MPHS in the ACCESS program, she and her para would talk to the students about being on American Idol. At the time, this was a newer show on TV and all the students loved it! Her para asked if they had seen her on the show the night before. They had one young lady say that she saw her on the show but not her para. The para asked what Mrs. Bond sang. The student sat up and cleared her throat and started singing Carrie Underwood's song "Jesus Take the Wheel" but was not saying the correct words. She was singing "Jesus Take a Wiz". They were so tickled and so were the students. Before we knew it, the incident had gone all the way to the BOE. She had to tell the story MULTIPLE times! Mrs. Bond lives in Barnesville with her husband (David) and her parents (Lonnie and Jean Bentley). They have a Boston Terrier (Skye) and a Russian Tortoise (Bubba). David is retired and so are her parents. They moved back from Kentucky to be with her and David so that they could help take care of them. When not in the classroom, Mrs. Bond loves to needlepoint, watch movies, and have "Retail Therapy" with her Best Friend, Debra.
