My name is Jenny Adams, and this is my second year at CCA. I have my Rank I in education and 35 years of teaching experience in McCracken County. I am the Art teacher for grades 1-5 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is wonderful to be a part of this staff! I feel truly blessed!

I have been married to my husband Jerry for 38 years. We have two sons, Mark and Luke. They are both married. Mark and Diane live in Tullahoma, Tennessee and they have one son Aaron David, our first grandbaby. Luke and Sarah live in Paducah. My husband Jerry retired from working in Vocational Rehabilitation for 33 years. He now works on our farm primarily selling, buying, and training horses. We attend Melber Church of Christ where he serves as an elder. I work in the Sunday school program and am director of our VBS. I also am involved in our ladies' programs.

I also have a passion for missions and am currently working with my sister to promote Little Dresses for Africa, a nonprofit organization. There are now fifty states and numerous countries involved making dresses out of pillowcases for little girls.

I am very excited to be at CCA. I have had a lifelong love for teaching, and I find it personally rewarding to work in a Christian environment.
