Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!  My name is Ms Jodie Jacobson, and I will be teaching 5th grade Math throughout this school year.  I was born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, and graduated from Sault Area High School in 1994.  I received my Bachelors Degree from Lake Superior State University, and then went on to get my Masters Degree from Marygrove College.  This is currently my 21st year of teaching, and I am blessed to be here at the Sault Area Middle School (SAMS).  Prior to SAMS, I taught at Pickford Elementary School for 13 years, then went on to teach at Soo Township until the reconfiguration brought me here to middle school.  I am a mother of two children:  Dryden (Freshman in College) and Danica (10th grade).  I love living in the UP, and I am so thankful to be raising my own children in such a beautiful place.
