Hi, I am Jenny Saunders and this is my 35th year teaching Family and Consumer Science. I have been teaching here at Gunston since 1995. I am a proud born and bred Arlingtonian and love being able to give back to my students that I so loved and appreciated from my former APS teachers. I am here to help transition your children into being more independent and to be contributing more around the house. This is not just a FACS class, or a good grade, my students learn skills that last a lifetime. Black cats rule!
