Turi Janes
Kindergarten
Turi Janes teaches kindergarten. She particularly enjoys helping students learn to think for themselves. She hopes her students always remember that “learning is fun and important. Never stop!”
Janes graduated from Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts. She joined the Charles Wright faculty in 1987. Alums she taught more than 20 years ago still come back to visit her. A few years ago, one of her former students selected her as the faculty member she wanted to receive her Charles Wright diploma from at graduation.
The close relationships between members of the CWA community are what Janes says she values most about the school. She enjoys reading, knitting, kayaking, and hiking.
