Hi!  My name is Lauren Burch, this is my first year at JNE!  I have taught in the Houston area for nine years.  I was raised in Fort Bend ISD, and am so happy to be back!  I have been departmentalized in reading for the past four years, and self contained for the other five.  I am happily married to my husband, Andrew.  We have an adorable Shih Tzu named Archer, and a cat named Dexter.  When I'm not teaching, you can find me drinking decaf coffee and reading a book!  I am so excited to be here teaching at JNE with all the amazing staff and students!
