Mrs.+Huster

=Jaylene Huster= Hello, my name is Jaylene Marie Huster. I was born on July 11, 1969 in Cincinnati, Ohio. My family and friends call me “Jay”. My parents are James and Sharon Boland. I am the oldest of 5 children. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. I grew up in the community of Oakley which is in the city of Cincinnati. When I was three year old, I was playing horsey with my grandfather’s border collie. I somehow upset him. He flipped me over and attacked me. I had several surgeries to cover up the scars on my face. Mrs. Kirstein was my teacher in second grade and came to visit me after one of my surgeries.

I attended grade school ( 1-8) at St. Cecilia School. I loved to play soccer and softball. I also was a member of the children’s choir. I went to Purcell Marian High School where I was a member of student government for 4 years. I also was a cheerleader, played soccer, and taught Sunday school to preschool students.

When I was a senior in high school I was awarded several leadership awards and scholarships. I attended Mount St. Joseph College which is located on the west side of Cincinnati. I was very active in student government and was vice president and president of my class in college. I decided to become a teacher and graduated in 1991.

I began teaching the fall of 1991 in an inner city Catholic school. I taught 7th and 8th grade students. Over the past 19 years, I have taught many different grades and in 3 different schools.

In 1995, I married Ted Huster after he proposed to me on a golf course. My engagement ring was inside a golf ball that I putted. We have 4 beautiful sons and have a great time staying busy with all their activities and sports.

This past July, I turned 40 years old and celebrated in many different ways over the entire month of July. I continue to teach 5th grade at Ayer Elementary. Thank you for listening to my speech.
